Abstract

Nocardia mediterranei strain LBG A3136 contains the 23.7 kb element pMEA100 in a chromosomally integrated form as well as in the free state (Moretti et al. 1985). The integrated form of this element can be excised precisely from the Nocardia chromosome without any accompanying rearrangements in flanking chromosomal DNA. After transfer into plasmid-free mutant strains, pMEA100 reintegrates site specifically into its original chromosomal locus. The exact mapping of the pMEA100 integration site was accomplished by restriction analysis and DNA sequencing. The attachment site of pMEA100, the junctions of its integrated form and plasmid-free chromosomal DNA of N. mediterranei contain an identical 47 bp long sequence which is probably required for site-specific recombination connected with integration and excision of pMEA100. Only one such sequence was found in the chromosome of pMEA100-free N. mediterranei derivatives as suggested by the single integration locus.
