Abstract

The complete 1,486 nucleotide sequence of a cryptic plasmid separated from Lactobacillus bifermentans strain A02 isolated from Kimchi has been determined. The plasmid, designated as pA021, encodes a 33,488 Da putative Rep protein. Based on the sequence similarity, the protein shows homology with coding protein of pRS1, a previously reported plasmid of Oenococcus oeni and the replication initiation protein (Rep) of the Staphylococcal pT181 plasmid family.
