Plasmid-mediated transmission of chromosomal genes inPseudomonas glycinea

Abstract
SUMMARY: Complementing diauxotrophic mutants ofP. glycineawere mated in combination in which one or both mutants contained a resistance plasmid. The transfer of chromosmal markers was scored by the appearance of prototrophy at one or more of the auxotrophic loci. The resistance plasmid RP1 was equally or slightly more efficient than R6886 in the transmission of chromosomal genes.
