Characterization and transformation of plasmid pAA-1 found in an antarctic cryptoendolithic bacterium
Sixty-three bacterial isolates from antarctic sandstone samples (Linnaeus Terrace, Asgard Range, McMurdo Dry Valleys) were screened for the presence of plasmid DNA. Twenty-seven percent of all the isolates (mainly Gram-positives) harbored one or more plasmids of low molecular mass (1.1–16.3 kb). Str...
