Abstract excerpt
A set of lysogenic strains of phytopathogenic bacteria Erwinia "horticola" and Erwinia amylovora associated with woody plants was obtained using bacteriophage P1 Cmc1ts100. The phenotype conversion from Cm(S) to Cm(R) was shown to be connected with introducing of authentic prophage DNA of 94.8 kb as a single-copy plasmid into the cells. Prophage state is unstable: P1 plasmid is spontaneously lost with high...
