A segment of DNA located in the region of the E. coli K12 chromosome previously identified by the Rac phenotype can function as a self-replicating plasmid. Evidence is presented that this plasmid, the oriJ plasmid, contains the origin of replication of a defective prophage postulated to be located i

Strains carrying a dnaA temperature sensitive (t.s.) mutation and a Mu-1 prophage inserted within different genes near the origin of replication have been constructed. For each strain, integratively suppressed Hfrs, named G and D in which the ori region was replicated clockwise and counterclockwise
We have isolated plasmids by linking the 5.9 MD EcoRI fragment of E. coli that carries the origin of replication to an EcoRI fragment that carries an amplicillin resistance determinant, but lacks an origin of replication. 3 plasmids of this type, pOC1, pOC2, and pOC3, are described in detail in this
