R38, R931-1, and R933 are conjugative plasmids derived from strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. They confer resistance to mercuric ions (Hg-r), and do not tranfer from P. aeruginosa to Escherichia coli at detectable frequencies. Hybrids between each of these plasmids and the P-group plasmid, RP1, hav

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 a
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
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 r-determinant (r-det) of the R plasmid NR1-Basel is a 23 kb, IS1-flanked transposon, called Tn2671, which has been shown to transpose to the genome of bacteriophage P7. Among the derivatives of phage P7::r-det we found one which carried two copies of the r-det as inverted repeats and which also
