A model for plasmid maintenance of bacteriophage P1

A Jaffe-Brachet. Ann Microbiol (Paris). 1978 Oct.

Abstract

Studies of the stability of P1 plasmid in a P1 cry Escherichia coli lysogen have suggested a model for equipartition of plasmid copies. Equipartition might be controlled by the detachment of P1 copies after replication, followed by their reattachment to membrane sites, in coordination with bacterial division.
