Estimated sizes of these miniplasmids were 2.5, 2.28, 1.8, and 1.7 kilobase pairs (kbp). Only one size of miniplasmid was observed within a bacterial strain. There was DNA homology between the two larger miniplasmids, 2.5 and 2.28 kbp, and between the two smaller miniplasmids, 1.8 and 1.7 kbp, but not between the two size groups. The two larger miniplasmids were linearized by BamHI; the two smaller miniplasmids were linearized by XhoI. Although all bacterial strains with miniplasmids also contained at least one larger plasmid, no homology of miniplasmid DNA to any larger plasmids or chromosomal DNA was dectected [...]}, number={9}, journal={PHYTOPATHOLOGY}, author={DITTAPONGPITCH, V and RITCHIE, DF}, year={1993}, month={Sep}, pages={959–964} }
