Abstract excerpt

Downstream from its colicin and immunity genes (col. imm), Escherichia coli plasmid ColE3-CA38 contains a 0.81-kb DNA segment, the hic region, which is required for high colicin production. Characterization of derived plasmids, carrying the col-imm operon but varying in the hic region, showed tha...
