Isolation and characterization of four types of plasmids from Bacillus subtilis (natto).
Open accessAbstract
Covalently closed circular deoxyribonucleic acids were found in 10 strains of Bacillus natto. The plasmids could be classified into four types on the basis of the molecular weights as well as the patterns in agarose gel electrophoresis after digestion with restriction endonucleases: (i) plasmids (seven were detected) with a molecular weight of 3.6 X 10(6); (ii) plasmids (two were detected) with a molecular weight of 4.0 X 10(6); (iii) plasmids (eight were detected) with a molecular weight of about 34 X 10(6); and (iv), a plasmid with an approximate molecular weight of 46 X 10(6). Out of the 10 plasmid-carrying strains, 6 (IFO3009, IFO3013, IFO3335, IFO13169, IAM1143, and IAM1207) harbored both type 1 and 3 plasmids; 2 (IAM1114 and IAM1168) harbored both type 2 and 3 plasmids, and IFO3936 and IAM1163 carried type 1 and 4 plasmids, respectively.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
