Sinorhizobium meliloti plasmid pRm1132f replicates by a rolling-circle mechanism.

ABSTRACT: pRm1132f isolated from Sinorhizobium meliloti is a group III rolling-circle-replicating (RCR) plasmid. At least seven of eight open reading frames in the nucleotide sequence represented coding regions. The minimal replicon contained a rep gene and single- and double-stranded origins of replication. Detection of single-stranded plasmid DNA confirmed that pRm1132f replicated via an RCR mechanism.
