DNA sequencing of a plasmid with virulence from marine fish pathogen Vibrio anguillarum.

ABSTRACT

DNA sequence of a plasmid pEIB1 associated with virulence from the marine fish pathogen Vibrio anguillarum was determined using the methods of restriction endonuclease digestion, subcloning, and primer walking. The whole length of obtained pEIB1 DNA sequence was 66 164 bp, and the overall G+C content of DNA sequence is 42.7%. This sequence encodes 44 open reading frames containing the genes of DNA replication, biosynthesis and regulation of the siderophore anguibactin and transport of ferric-anguibactin complexes.
