Abstract
Eukaryotic plasmids, as potential vectors for gene cloning, have far-reaching implications for experiments in both molecular biology and biotechnology. On the one hand, questions of fundamental research interest in molecular biology are more easily deciphered by isolating and studying gene fragments on extrachromosomal elements rather than by the use of conventional genetics involving the total cell genome. On the other hand, immediate and wide interest has arisen from the point of view of biotechnical genetics and the practical application of gene cloning for industrial and environmental process improvement (Hollenberg 1980; Struhl 1983; v.Wettstein 1983; Shaw 1984).
