Abstract excerpt
The origin of replication of the broad host-range plasmid R1162 contains two, oppositely facing initiation sites for DNA synthesis. Either of these sites can be deleted from an R1162 plasmid derivative. However, the resulting plasmids are unstable, maintained at a lower copy-number in the cell, and form dimers and other recombinants that are required for propagation of the plasmid. In vitro, a derivative lacking...
