Abstract: | Summary Allele transfer ( conversion ) was analyzed in transformations with a CmR determining hybrid plasmid, which contained a chromosomal gene controlling threonine prototrophy. In transformations, where a thr
+-cell was transformed with the thr
- plasmid, the chromosomal allele was efficiently converted to the plasmid genotype. This process of gene conversion was rec dependent and greatly enhanced when monomeric rather than unfractionated plasmid DNA was used. |
