TABLE 5.

Plasmid copy number

Target genes Mean ratio ± SDa
RAN433 RAN429
catR and rpoB 4.5 ± 0.3 7.3 ± 0.9
mldA and rpoB 1.4 ± 0.9 9.6 ± 0.9
catR and mldA 4.0 ± 2.3 0.76 ± 0.1

The means for three biological replicates are shown, each assayed with three technical replicates. RAN433 harbors pRPF185: cat is on the plasmid, and both rpoB and mldA are chromosomal. RAN429 harbors pRAN416: cat is on the plasmid, rpoB is on the chromosome, and mldA is on both the plasmid and the chromosome.
