A cryptic plasmid of Lactobacillus plantarum PC518 isolated from Chinese pickle, designated pLP18, was sequenced and characterized. It is a 1806-bp circular molecule with a G+C content of 37.5%. Sequence analysis of pLP18 revealed three putative open reading frames (ORFs), in which ORF1 contained conserved motifs of pMV158-family Rep proteins and showed 60% similarity with the Rep protein of pPSC22, a member of rolling-circle replication (RCR) pMV158 family. The double strand origin (dso) of pMV158 family and the single strand origin A (ssoA) located upstream of the rep gene. The putative cop and rnaII genes were predicted to be regulatory genes controlling copy number of pLP18. The results of Southern hybridization suggested that pLP18 replicate via the RCR mechanism. Furthermore, the relative copy number of pLP18 was estimated to be about 24 copies per chromosome equivalent by quantitative PCR.
