Abstract excerpt

F plasmid DNA transfer (tra) gene expression in Escherichia coli is regulated by chromosome- and F-encoded gene products. To study the relationship among these regulatory factors, we constructed low-copy plasmids containing a phi(traY'-'lacZ)hyb gene that couples beta-galactosidase and Lac permea...
