title: [Transposon-mediated integration of the RP1 plasmid into chromosomes of methylotrophic bacteria].
abstract: The homology region between the DNA of plasmid RP1ts::Tn601 and chromosome of the thermotolerant methylotrophic bacterium Methylobacterium sp. SKF240 has been constructed by transposon Tn601 translocation into the chromosome. The clones of Methylobacterium sp. SKF240 having integrated the plasmid RP1 into the chromosome have been obtained by conjugation on the basis of above mentioned genetic technique. The integration of plasmid RP1 into the chromosomal DNA of the methylotroph has been confirmed by the genetic and electrophoretic methods. Clones harbouring the integrated plasmid are able to transfer the chromosomal genes for methionine and isoleucine-valine synthesis to the recipient cells of P. aeruginosa PAO ML4262 by conjugation.
