• Unique regulation of crystal protein production in Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. yunnanensis is mediated by the cry protein- encoding 103-megadalton plasmid /
• Use of green fluorescent protein to tag and investigate gene expression in marine bacteria /
• MRNA stability and plasmid copy number effects on gene expression from an inducible promoter system /

• Plasmids isolated from marine sediment microbial communities contain replication and incompatibility regions unrelated to those of known plasmid groups /
• Conjugative plasmids isolated from bacteria in marine environments show various degrees of homology to each other and are not closely related to well-characterized plasmids /
