Abstract excerpt
The enterococcal, conjugative, cytolysin plasmid pAD1 confers a mating response to the peptide sex pheromone cAD1 secreted by plasmid-free strains of Enterococcus faecalis. Cells carrying pAM714, a pAD1::Tn917 derivative with wild-type conjugation properties, were mutagenized with ethyl methanesu...
