[DIYbio] Wild-type organisms suitable for plasmid extraction?

Hello,

As part of setting up a DIY bio lab and introducing newcomers to molecular biology, it would be nice to demonstrate plasmid extraction and subsequenct study of the plasmid by restriction digestion or sequencing. The catch is, local regulations prevent us from working with genetically modified organisms, including organisms transformed with engineered plasmids. Are there any wild-type BSL1/generally recognized as safe organisms harboring natural plasmids which might be suitable? A strain that is readily available from a culture collection or from fellow DIY biologists would be preferable.

Best regards,
Jarle Pahr
