Membrane attachment of R-factor deoxyribonucleic acid in compatible and incompatible cell pairs following conjugation.
Superinfection of an Escherichia coli R(+) strain with a closely related R-factor was associated with the accumulation of replicative intermediates of the superinfecting deoxyribonucleic acid. This deoxyribonucleic acid remains associated with a rapidly sedimenting cell component.
