Abstract excerpt
Plasmid p15B is a bacteriophage P1-related resident of Escherichia coli 15T-. Both genomes contain a segment in which DNA inversion occurs, although this part of their genomes is not identical. This DNA segment of p15B was cloned in a multicopy vector plasmid. Like its parent, the resulting plasmid, pAW800, undergoes complex multiple DNA inversions: this DNA inversion system is therefore called Min. The min gene,...
