title: [Transfer of chromosomal genes and formation of R'-derivatives using PR4::D312cts15 plasmids in Pseudomonas aeruginosa cells].
abstract: Several hybrid RP4 plasmids containing the genome of heat-inducible D3112cts15 phage integrated into 2 different sites of RP4 were selected. It was shown that the plasmids RP4::D3112cts15 mobilized the chromosome of Pseudomonas aeruginosa from many sites located in different chromosome regions. Chromosomal recombinants are, formed at frequencies of about 10(-4) per recipient cell. Analysis of coinheritance of unselected markers showed that the majority of recombinants inherited short donor chromosome fragments (about 5 min). R' plasmids can be easily selected by mating with a rec- recipient. For instance, the frequency of selection of R' plasmids containing argH+ locus was about 10(-5) per donor cell. Conjugative transfer of RP4::D3112cts15 into nonlysogenic strains PAO P. aeruginosa results in partial or complete loss of prophage from a hybrid plasmid. The RP4::D3112cts15 plasmids appear to have retained the broad host range of the original RP4 (they are maintained in P. putida and Escherichia coli).
