Characterization of V-Prime Factors in Escherichia coli K-12

Phyllis L Kahn *,1, Marilyn Clement *,2
PMCID: PMC235936  PMID: 1100616

Abstract

An episome derived from an Hfrv (Hfr isolated from a V colicinogenic parent) strain of Escherichia coli K-12 was isolated and characterized. The direction of gene transfer was inverted from that in the original parental strain.
