Abstract

The natural occurrence of small Hsd (host specificity for DNA) plasmids was demonstrated in restriction endonuclease-producing strains of Salmonella typhi, Shigella boydii, and Escherichia coli. The five Hsd plasmids isolated were between 5.0 and 12.2 kilobases long. The copy number of all the Hsd plasmids was high (more than 10 copies per cell). Introduction of these small plasmids into E. coli strain 0 drastically lowered the efficiency of plating of the lambda.0 phages (the efficiency of plating was less than 5 X 10(-5) PFU-1). High restriction endonuclease activities were detected in the Hsd plasmid-positive strains because of the elevated copy numbers of the hsdR+ gene. The advantages of using E. coli strains containing the small Hsd plasmids for purification of type II restriction endonucleases are discussed.
