[Pili determined by the tra genes of F-like plasmids]
Abstract
The study of structural and functional features of plasmid-specific pili synthetized by E. coli cells under control of 27 F-like plasmids was performed. All the plasmids determined the pili of "flexible" type which were classified into 3 groups on the basis of difference in cell sensitivity to pili-specific phages f1, f2, Q. The possible role of transposons in the variation of pili functional properties was supposed.
