Abstract

Three recombinant plasmids, resulting from recombination between an R plasmid of the FI incompatibility group and the F of HfrH, were introduced in a temperature-sensitive dnaA mutant to isolate Hfr-type-donors. All of the temperature-insensitive clones isolated from two of the three recombinant plasmids had the same origin and transfer pattern as the parental HfrH strain.
