title: Transfer of Transposon Tn916 from Bacillus subtilis into a Natural Soil Population.
abstract: A Bacillus subtilis transconjugant with a Tn916 chromosomal insert was obtained through mating with Escherichia coli carrying the transposon as a plasmid insert. Actinomycetes were identified as frequent transposon recipients following the introduction of the B. subtilis transconjugant into a soil microcosm.
