Abstract
A gene isolated from a microorganism selected from the group consisting of Pantoea bacteria, Erwinia bacteria, and Enterobacter bacteria, and encoding a Rep protein or a homologue thereof is described. A plasmid containing the gene which is autonomously replicable in Enterobacteriaceae bacteria is also described. A Enterobacteriaceae microorganism containing the plasmid is also described.

A gene isolated from a microorganism selected from the group consisting of Pantoea bacteria, Erwinia bacteria, and Enterobacter bacteria, wherein said gene encodes a Rep protein having the amino acid sequence selected from the group consisting of the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:
- 2, and an amino acid sequence which is at least 95% homologous to SEQ ID NO:
- 2.
An Enterobacteriaceae microorganism which has been transformed with a plasmid comprising a gene isolated from a microorganism selected from the group consisting of Pantoea bacteria, Erwinia bacteria, and Enterobacter bacteria, and wherein said gene encodes a Rep protein having the amino acid sequence selected from the group consisting of the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:
- 2, and an amino acid sequence which is at least 95% homologous to SEQ ID NO:
- 2.
