Abstract
The genetic elements promoting conjugation associated with transmissible drug resistance are of two or more kinds. Experiments with phage specific for F+bacteria have shown that one large class differs from F essentially only in the production of a cytoplasmic repressor which limits the synthesis of the specific F pilus, whether by the RTF itself or by F when this is present in the same cell.Keywords
