[Transfer to Escherichia coli of the mercury markers of new Pseudomonas aeruginosa plasmids]. / Peredacha kishechnoi palochke rtutnykh markerov novykh plazmid Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

A total of 5 new conjugative plasmids pLD can be transferred from one Ps. aeruginosa strain to other strains of this species, but not to E. coli. Only the markers of resistance to mercury can be transferred to E. coli by means of plasmids Inc P-1. The present work contains the data confirming that the mercury markers of 2 plasmids pLD 1017 and pLD 1051 behave similarly to transposons.
