Correlation between thymineless elimination and absence of hsp II (EcoRII) specificity in N-group R factors.
Examination of R factors from 12 different compatibility groups shows that thymineless elimination is apparently confined to N-group plasmids that lack the hsp II (EcoRII) restriction specificity.
