The DNA of the F plasmid is joined to bacterial DNA sequences in the F′ ORF203 by directly repeated insertion sequence 2 (IS2) elements. The rate of excision of the F plasmid from this F′ (presumably ...
Escherichia coli carrying a natural conjugative F-plasmid generates F-pili mating pairs, which is important for early biofilm formation. In this study, we investigated the effect of male-specific ...
The faithful inheritance of genetic material during cell division is a crucial process of life. However, especially for bacteria, which represent the vast majority of organisms, the underlying ...
