✦ Synopsis

The formation of the r-determinant pLC1 and of the RTF pAR132 from the composite plasmid R100.1 was investigated. The general location of IS1 sequences on the three plasmids was established by hybridization of lambdar14 CII::IS1 DNA to EcoRI generated fragments of the various plasmids separated by agarose gel electrophoresis and transferred directly to nitrocellulose filters. The position of IS1 sequences on these fragments and the homologies between fragments were analyzed by electron microscopy of heteroduplex molecules. The results show that the excision of both pLC1 and pAR132 occurred by an exchange between the two IS1 sequences present on R100.1.

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.

The rate of replication of the plasmids colE1, pSC101, R100.1 and pAR132 (an RTF-TC derivative of the drug resistance factor R100.1) has been investigated directly by DNA:DNA hybridization. These rates have been compared, in a dnaAts strain, to that of various markers of the host chromosome at permi
