title: pED100, a conjugative F plasmid derivative without insertion sequences.
abstract: The largest HindIII fragment of F includes the entire replication and transfer regions, and its circularisation with ligase gave the conjugative plasmid pED100. This plasmid, which contains none of the F insertion sequences, was essentially unable to mobilise the E. coli chromosome or to give integrative suppression of a dnaA strain.
