Conjugal transfer of plasmid pIP501 from Lactococcus lactis to Lactobacillus delbrückii subsp. bulgaricus and Lactobacillus helveticus.
Plasmid pIP501 was transferred by conjugation from Lactococcus lactis to Lactobacillus delbrückii subsp. bulgaricus and Lactobacillus helveticus. Only Lb. delbrückii subsp. bulgaricus transconjugants could act as a donor in crosses with Lc. lactis. No Lactobacillus transconjugants were detected after inter- or intra-species Lactobacillus crosses. Plasmid pIP501 has undergone no detectable deletion or rearrangement during transfer from Lc. lactis to Lactobacillus strains.
