Abstract
In matings between F′ donors and recombination-deficient Hfr recipients, we isolated progeny which transferred both episomal markers and Hfr markers early and with high frequency. A number of these progeny had two integrated sex factors. Investigation of these double Hfr strains showed that the F′ nearly always integrated in a homologous region of the chromosome. In any particular mating system integration was specific as to location and direction of chromosome transfer.
