The F plasmid may cosegregrate with either DNA strand of the Escherichia coli chromosome
Abstract
A stable association exists between the plasmid Flac and one of the polynucleotide strands of the bacterial chromosome. This polynucleotide strand was isolated and tested for uniqueness by DNA-DNA hybridization analysis. The association was found to involve either bacterial DNA strand.
