Abstract
Transformation of R factor RP4 and its derivative pRK290 from Escherichia coli to Rhizobium meliloti is reported. The efficiency of transformation was in the range of 10(-5) per viable cell. In addition, chromosomal DNA prepared from one R. meliloti strain resistant to streptomycin was transferred to the isoleucine-valine-requiring mutant susceptible to streptomycin.
