Transfer of RP4::Mu to Salmonella typhimurium

Journal of General Microbiology
I R Beacham, S Garrett

Abstract

Restriction-proficient strains of Salmonella typhimurium are shown to be ineffective as recipients of normal RP4::Mucts62 due to the operation of two restriction systems (hsdSA and hsdLT) on the Mu moiety of this plasmid. Strains mutant in both these hsd loci are excellent recipients.
