A simple method is described in detail for the efficient isolation of high molecular weight covalently closed circular DNA (ccc-DNA) from Agrobacterium [tumefaciens]. Although this method was developed for isolating ccc-DNA of MW > 108 daltons in Agrobacterium, the technique is also useful in isolating ccc-DNA of varying sizes from a variety of other bacteria. The technique involves the shearing and alkali denaturation of the chromosomal DNA, followed by the preferential removal of the single-stranded DNA by phenol extraction. The DNA which remains is largely ccc-DNA. The DNA is then concentrated, and the ccc-DNA is separated from the chromosomal DNA by centrifugation in a CsCl-ethidium bromide density gradient. By this technique, ccc-DNA of varying sizes was also isolated from Escherichia [coli], Rhizobium spp., Citrobacter sp., and Lactobacillus [casei].
