Abstract excerpt
Transposon Tn916 was shown to be capable of direct conjugative transfer in broth and membrane matings between strains of Escherichia coli K12 and between E. coli K12 and Haemophilus influenzae type b. Only Tn916 was transferred, but Tn916 donor ability was not itself inheritable by the recipients...
