RP4-prime plasmids containing chromosomal fragments of either Escherichia coli or Rhizobium meliloti were constructed in vitro. When introduced into E. coli or R. meliloti respectively, they promoted a polarized transfer of the chromosome as demonstrated either by the gradient of transfer of various
The consequences of using anti-microbial agents in a complex ecosystem like the animal intestine can be difficult to predict. We have looked at effects of modulations in growth of competing intestinal bacteria on transfer and establishment of new genetic elements in the intestinal microflora. For th
Plasmid pJP4 encoding the ability to degrade the herbicide 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (Tfd Β§ was transferred by conjugation from Escherichia coil JMP397 to various lithoautotrophic strains ofAlcaligenes eutrophus and to the autotrophic bacterium Pseudomonas oxalaticus. The herbicide-degrading fu
