Abstract excerpt

Interplasmid and chromosome to plasmid transposition of IS10 were studied by assaying inactivation of the phage 434 cI gene, carried on a low copy number plasmid. This was detected by the activity of the tet gene expressed from the phage 434 PR promoter. Each interplasmid transposition resulted i...
