Intracellular localization and effects on cell division of a plasmid blocked in deoxyribonucleic acid replication.
Cell division in a uvr mutant of Escherichia coli is suppressed by introduction [corrected] into the cell of an ultraviolet-irradiated plasmid. Autoradiography was used to determine the localization of the incoming plasmid and the segregation pattern of the host chromosomes.
