We have cloned the entire r-determinant of the antibiotic resistance plasmid R100.1 on the plasmic vectors pCR1 and pSC201. We find that the hybrid plasmids segregate from cultures in which replication of the vector is blocked. This suggests that the r-det is not capable of autonomous replication.
Specialized transducing lambda phages, 2 oriR1, harboring DNA from the resistance plasmid Rldrd-19 and its copy mutant pKN103 were isolated. From measurements of CCC-DNA content it is concluded that upon infection the phages can establish themselves as self-replicating plasmids in recA hosts lysogen
Replication of the multicopy mini-R1 plasmid, Rsc11, is dependent on host replication functions dna A, B, C, E and G but independent of polA1. Chloramphenicol immediately stops its replication. A stable relaxation complex is not formed. Composite plasmids were constructed with Rsc11 and other small
