O. Ivanytsia; Odessa І.І. Mechnikov National Univ. – Odesa, 2015.https://dspace.onu.edu.ua/handle/123456789/11935Plasmid profiles are quality characteristic represented by a specific set of plasmids and can be used to characterize individual strains. Plasmid profiles can be a valuable tool for the characterization of any bacteria, including many bacteria of Bacillus species. Bacillus plasmids may be present in an amount of 1 to 17 per cell, have size 3 to 120 kb and carry the genes responsible for resistance to antibiotics, the synthesis of entomopathogenic toxins and others. The aim of our study was to identify, analyze and compare Bacillus species bacteria strains plasmid profiles.enPlasmid profilesbacteria of BacillusArticle
