Transfer of chromosomal mutations to plasmids via Hfr-mediated conduction
Abstract
Nonconjugative plasmids can be transferred from an Hfr donor to a recipient by Hfr-mediated conduction. We found that this phenomenon can be employed to obtain a plasmid in which a mutation in a chromosomal gene has been transferred to the copy of that gene contained in the hybrid plasmid.
