Abstract
The sequence of plasmid pIP501 (30,603 bp) was completed using previously published and newly acquired data. The sites at which two spontaneous deletions had occurred were identified. One was between tracts of repeated heptamers and the other between regions of secondary structure associated with plasmid replication. A high level of identity ( >95%) between plasmid pIP501 and part of plasmid pRE25, which had been isolated from Enterococcus faecalis associated with a food source, was confirmed.
