Abstract excerpt
Evidence for gene silencing of Haemophilus influenzae involved a beta-subunit of RNA polymerase. The gene presumed silenced was rifampin resistance. The evidence that it was silencing, rather than dominance of a rifampin-sensitive marker, was that it took place when the rifampin resistance marker was on both a plasmid and the chromosome, without the presence of a rifampin-sensitive marker, as judged by lack of...
