Tetracycline-sensitive mutants of the F-like R factors R100 and R100-1.
The majority of tetracycline-sensitive (Tets) mutants of R100 and R100-1 are multisite (deletion) mutants. About 50% of these are also transfer-deficient, indicating that the Tetr locus is closely linked to the transfer genes. Tet(s) mutants with single-site lesions are also described.
