    Notes: Summary Small plasmids were isolated from type strains ofClostridium butyricum. Strain NCIB 7423 carries one plasmid (pCBU1) of 6.4 kb, whereas strain NCTC 7423 carries two unrelated plasmids of 6.3 kb (pCBU2) and 8.4 kb (pCBU3). Cleavage sites for 18 restriction endonucleases have been mapped on these plasmids and detailed physical maps are presented. For the purpose of developing vector plasmids for gene cloning in saccharolytic clostridia these crypticC. butyricum plasmids were joined to a selectable marker that will likely be expressed in clostridia. This was achieved by cloning the clostridial plasmids into theE. coli vector pBR322 carrying the chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT) gene from theStaphylococcus aureus plasmid pC194. The recombinant plasmids were tested for their ability to confer chloramphenicol resistance toBacillus subtilis. Hybrid plasmids (pHL105, pHL1051) derived from pCBU2 were identified, which are capable of replication and expression of theS. aureus drug resistance marker in bothE. coli andB. subtilis. No structural instability was detected upon retransformation of pHL105 fromB. subtilis intoE. coli. The recombinant plasmids might thus be useful as shuttle vectors for the gene transfer betweenE. coli and a wide range of bacilli and clostridia.

    Notes: Summary Two non-homologous chloramphenicol (Cm) acetyltransferase (CAT) genes, designated catA and catB, were cloned from Clostridium butyricum type strains and characterized by restriction mapping. Both genes are efficiently expressed in Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis. In contrast to analogous genes from staphylococci and bacilli, gene expression is not dependent on induction by Cm. The genes are considered as chromosomal, since no association with endogenous plasmids was detectable. Southern hybridization revealed a homology between catA and the staphylococcal Cm resistance plasmid, pC194. The subunit size of the clostridial CAT enzymes expressed in E. coli was determined as 22.5 kDa (catA) and 24 kDa (catB), respectively. The C. butyricum cat genes provide potentially useful selection markers for the construction of cloning vectors from cryptic clostridial plasmids.
