Transfer of invertase production from a wild strain of Escherichia coli

R Shinebaum et al. Zentralbl Bakteriol Orig A. 1977.

Abstract

A wild type strain of E. coli which produced an invertase capable of hydrolysing sucrose and raffinose transmitted this ability at high frequency to a recipient strain. E. coli C. The ability to ferment both sucrose and raffinose was lost both in the wild type parent and recombinant strains by treatment with ethidium bromide.
