β¦ Synopsis
We demonstrated the conjugative transfer of plasmid pTO1 from Eschetichia colt S17-1 to different Rhodococcus spp. The plasmid contains the oriT fragment from RK2 and a fragment of Streptomyces (~C31 actinophage with the attachment site and the integration genes. Experiments on hybridization showed that plasmid pTO1 is chromosomally integrated into the Rhodococcus cells.

A number of cya and crp mutants of Escherichia coli HfrH were analyzed for several Tra functions of the F plasmid. The mutants were observed to be deficient in conjugal donor ability, absorption of phages MS2 and Q beta and surface exclusion. These defects were suppressed in cya mutants grown with c
The Ti-plasmids are naturally self-transmissible from their normal host Agrobacterium to E. coli. They are however unable to stably establish themselves as a replicon in E. coli. It is nevertheless possible to study the Ti-plasmids in E. coli with the help of Ti::RP4 cointegrate plasmids that transf
