Abstract
A physical map of the Methanococcus voltae chromosome was constructed on the basis of restriction mapping and cross-hybridization experiments, employing total and partial digests obtained with rarely cutting restriction enzymes. On the basis of the sum of the fragment sizes of digests with seven enzymes the chromosome length was calculated to be approximately 1900kb. The derived map is circular. Hybridization of gene probes to mapped restriction fragments has led to a genetic map of genes for structural RNAs as well as proteins, including enzymes involved in the methanogenic pathway.Keywords
