Yields of virus and putative conjugative plasmid in the wild-type culture over a 74-day period. PCR products are shown for orf174 of the virus and the traG-like gene of the putative conjugative plasmid isolated from cultures 2–74 days post infection (Dpi). Template DNA was isolated from 2 ml of infected cells and concentrations were adjusted to be the same for each sample prior to PCR analysis.
