Abstract excerpt
The cell division phenotypes of Escherichia coli with its chromosome replication driven by oriR (from plasmid R1) were examined by fluorescence microscopy and flow cytometry. Chromosome replication patterns in these strains were followed by marker frequency analyses. In one of the strains, the unidirectional oriR was integrated so that the replication fork moved clockwise from the oriC region, and bacterial...
