โฆ Synopsis
Insertion of transposon T n1 into the E. coli JC411 chromosome results in a sharp increase of plasmid RP4 integration frequency. This effect is absent in JC1553 recA cells. The RP4 integration with the chromosome is probably accomplished via recA-dependent recombination between transposon Tn1 inserted into the chromosome and the same transposon in the RP4 plasmid.

Upon integration into the bacterial chromosome the drug resistance plasmid R100.1 often loses its tetracycline resistance character. We have analyzed an Hfr strain formed by such an integration and an R-prime plasmid derived from it. We find that integration took place within the Tn10 transposon, th
