Method for Assessing the Frequency of Transfer of an R Factor on Solid Media and for Isolating Cells of the Donor Type from a Predominantly Repressed Culture

Abstract

A method for assessing the incidence of R factor transfer on solid media is described. The method gives values similar to those obtained with conventional techniques but allows the derepressed cells from a predominantly repressed population to be isolated.
