Claim 3
Dependent Claim
35 words
A process for producing plasmid pCG1 which comprises culturing Corynebacterium glutamicum 225-57 having the identifying characteristics of ATCC 31808 in a nutrient medium, disrupting the cultured cells and recovering plasmid pCG1 from the disrupted cells.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
35 words
A process for producing plasmid pCG1 which comprises culturing Corynebacterium glutamicum 225-57 having the identifying characteristics of ATCC 31808 in a nutrient medium, disrupting the cultured cells and recovering plasmid pCG1 from the disrupted cells.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
20 words
A biologically pure culture of Corynebacterium glutamicum having the identifying characteristics of ATCC 31808 from which plasmid pCG1 is recoverable.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
20 words
A biologically pure culture of Corynebacterium glutamicum having the identifying characteristics of ATCC 31808 from which plasmid pCG1 is recoverable.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
25 words
A recombinant plasmid capable of autonomous replication in Corynebacterium constructed from the plasmid pCG1 defined in claim 1 by adding a foreign DNA fragment thereto.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
41 words
A recombinant plasmid capable of autonomous replication in Corynebacterium constructed from the plasmid pCG1 defined in claim 1 by deleting a DNA region that does not affect its function to replicate autonomously and adding a foreign DNA fragment to said plasmid.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
26 words
A biologically pure culture of a microorganism belonging to Corynebacterium glutamicum and harboring plasmid pCG1 or a recombinant plasmid as defined in claim 4 or 5.
