Restriction endonuclease maps of three plasmids from bacillus thuringiensis serovar israelensis 4Q1

Bacillus thuringiensis serovar israelensis 4Q1 contains 8 different covalently closed-circular (CCC) plasmids of molecular weight 204, 267, 109, 103, 16, 7.6, 6.4, and 5.0kb. The three smallest plasmids, designated pBti6, and pBti8 may prove to be useful as cloning vectors because of thier size and ease of isolation. The three plasmids were incubated separately with 9 different restriction enzymes and 7 of the enzymes tested cleaved one or more of the plasmids. Plasmid pBti6 has a single site for Bg1 II, Pst I and Pvu II, two sites for Bc1 I and Eco RI, and five sites for Hind III. Plasmid pBti7 has a single site for Bam HI and Pst I, two sites for Hind III, and three sites for PvuII. Plasmic pBti8 has a single site for Bam HI, BelI and Hind III, two sites for Eco RI, and three sites for Bgl II and Pvu II. Composite restriction enzyme maps for pBti6, pBti7 and pBti8 were constructed. The sites of restriction enzyme cleavage were determined by single, double and partial digests of the plasmid DNA. All the restriction sites were aligned relative to the single Bgl II(pBti6), Pst I(pBti7) or Hind III(pBti8) site, respectively.
