Tn916 insertion mutagenesis in Escherichia coli and Haemophilus influenzae type b following conjugative transfer.

Journal of general microbiology - 1 Mar 1992

Holland J, Towner K J, Williams P

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 and seemed to be associated with the presence of Tn916 on a non-conjugative pBR322-derived vector in the original...
