Membrane Attachment of R-Factor Deoxyribonucleic Acid in Compatible and Incompatible Cell Pairs Following Conjugation

Vickers Hershfield a,1, Donald J LeBlanc a,2, Stanley Falkow a
PMCID: PMC246372  PMID: 4580562

Abstract

Superinfection of an Escherichia coli R+ strain with a closely related R-factor was associated with the accumulation of replicative intermediates of the superinfecting deoxyribonucleic acid. This deoxyribonucleic acid remains associated with a rapidly sedimenting cell component.
