Abstract: | The transposon containing derivatives pMTF9 (Tn9), pMTF10 (Tn10) and pMTF59 (Tn5, Tn9) of the Pseudomonas sp. M conjugative plasmid pM3 demonstrating temperature-dependent instability in Erwinia cells incubated at 37 degrees C have been isolated. The obtained plasmids have been shown to be usable for transposon-mediated mutability in the bacterial cells of Erwinia generum incubated at 37 degrees C. |
