    Isabel Wilkerson.
    Summary: In this epic, beautifully written masterwork, Pulitzer Prize-winning author Isabel Wilkerson chronicles one of the great untold stories of American history: the decades-long migration of black citizens who fled the South for northern and western cities, in search of a better life. From 1915 to 1970, this exodus of almost six million people changed the face of America.

    The mini plasmids deriving from pKN102, a copy mutant of the antibiotic resistance factor R1drd-19 of E. coli, share a common DNA sequence of 2.6 kb, which carries the minimal functions for autonomous replication. By cloning of two PstI fragments of this region it could be demonstrated that the "basic replicon" is a DNA segment not larger than 1.8 kb, which carries the orgin of replication and the genetic information for at least two proteins. Protein F (NW=11.000 dalton) seems to be synthesed in larger amounts in minicells of E. coli than protein C (20.000). Plasmids containing this isolated replicon of R1 are completely compatible with the parental plasmid R1drd-19.
