The mutant pEG1 of R-factor RP4 with temperature-sensitive defect in replication, carrying a transposable ampicillin resistance element Tn1 was used to define the frequency of insertion of this element into Escherichia coli K-12 chromosome and some other plasmids. Our results indicate that the frequency of colony forming by bacteria with pEG1-factor on ampicillin medium in non-permissive conditions corresponds to the frequency of Tn1 insertion into bacterial chromosome or some other plasmid (in case when the strains are carrying a second plasmid). The frequency of Tn1 insertion into the chromosome is about 4.10(-4). The defect in recA gene produce no serious change in the frequency of Tn1 insertion into the bacterial chromosome. The translocation of Tn1 element from pEG1-factor to R483, R6 and ColE1 plasmids occurs at 10 to 100-fold-higher frequency than from the plasmid to the chromosome. The insertion of Tn1 into the F'-factor KLF10 and R-factor R64-11 occurs at far lower frequency than that to plasmids R6, R483, or ColE1.

D004926 Escherichia coli A species of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria (GRAM-NEGATIVE FACULTATIVELY ANAEROBIC RODS) commonly found in the lower part of the intestine of warm-blooded animals. It is usually nonpathogenic, but some strains are known to produce DIARRHEA and pyogenic infections. Pathogenic strains (virotypes) are classified by their specific pathogenic mechanisms such as toxins (ENTEROTOXIGENIC ESCHERICHIA COLI), etc. Alkalescens-Dispar Group,Bacillus coli,Bacterium coli,Bacterium coli commune,Diffusely Adherent Escherichia coli,E coli,EAggEC,Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli,Enterococcus coli,Diffusely Adherent E. coli,Enteroaggregative E. coli,Enteroinvasive E. coli,Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli
