Abstract excerpt
The Pseudomonas aeruginosa plasmid pKLC102 coexists as a plasmid and a genome island in clone C strains. Whereas the related plasmid pKLK106 reversibly recombines with P. aeruginosa clone K chromosomes at one of the two tRNA(Lys) genes, pKLC102 is incorporated into the tRNA(Lys) gene only close to the pilA locus. Targeting of the other tRNA(Lys) copy in the chromosome is blocked by a 23,395-bp mosaic of truncated...
