Two Louisiana strains of Neurospora tetrasperma contain a linear plasmid (LA-kalDNA) with a restriction map identical to the Hawaiian Neurospora intermedia senescence plasmid, kalDNA, but with termini 100 nucleotide pairs shorter. One of these strains also bore a circular plasmid similar to the Hawaiian circular plasmid Hanalei-2. One species probably acquired both plasmids from the other by horizontal transfer, at a time sufficiently distant for sequence divergence to take place. Many LA-kalDNA-bearing derivative strains senesced, but this plasmid does not guarantee senescence. Furthermore, LA-kalDNA does not insert into mtDNA. One senescent strain showed no LA-kalDNA. The plasmids are effectively transmitted via the pseudohomothallic sexual cycle. Single mating-type derivatives transmit plasmids maternally.
