Evidence for a chromosomally determined bacteriocin production by Klebsiella pneumoniae.
Location of the genes responsible for pneumocin production in Klebsiella pneumoniae was examined by classical procedures. Conjugal intrageneric transfers, elimination experiments with various curing agents, high temperature and plasmid isolation procedures showed that this strain did not harbour any plasmid. Hence chromosomal location of the genetic determinants is suggested.
