Plasmid-to-plasmid recombination in Haemophilus influenzae.

M Balganesh, J K Setlow
PMCID: PMC214407  PMID: 3484477

Abstract

No recombination between plasmids was observed after conjugal transfer of a plasmid into a cell carrying another plasmid. Two types of such recombination took place after transformation, one type being Rec+ dependent and suggesting a preferred site of recombination. The other much rarer type was at least partially Rec+ independent.
