Abstract excerpt
Lactococcus lactis ME2 can transfer a 46-kb plasmid, pTR2030, which encodes abortive phage infection (Hsp) and restriction/modification (R/M) activities. pTR2030 can be detected as a monomeric plasmid in transconjugants at low copy number, but not in ME2. pTR2030-specific probes were cloned and u...
