Plasmid puc8 and method for the isolation of plasmid puc8 from streptomyces fradiae

摘要

The novel plasmid pUC8 can be obtained from the microorganism Streptomyces fradiae, NRRL 11445. The plasmid can be uses as a cloning vehicle in recombinant DNA work. By way of example, the insulin gene can be inserted into the plasmid and then a suitable host containing the resulting plasmid can be used to produce insulin.
