[Genetic transfer of pAP38, pAP39, and pAP41 plasmids into E. coli, Erwinia, and Hafnia strains].
Genetic transfer factors pAP38, pAP39 and pAP41 can be transferred to E. coli, both typed and untypecd, as well as to Erwinia and Hafnia strains, with different frequency (10(-2) to 10(-8)). The transconjugates thus obtained possess donor activity and can transfer the factors they have received to recipient E. coli strains. After transfer these factors are stably maintained in a new host for at least 10 days. Under the action of ethidium bromide or elevated temperature the elimination of the transfer factors from host bacteria is observed. The studied transfer factors pAP38, pAP39 and pAP41 (F-like factors) are plasmids fi+.
