Ea. Nikolaichik et Ag. Pesnyakevich, CONSTRUCTION OF THE DONOR STRAINS OF ERWI NIA-CAROTOVORA SUBSP ATROSEPTICA-3-2, Genetika, 29(8), 1993, pp. 1278-1287
Hfr-like donors of virulent Erwinia carotovora subsp. atroseptica stra
in 3-2 were constructed using the conjugative plasmid R471a and the tr
ansposon Tn5 as a region of plasmid-chromosome homology. The donor str
ains JN10 and JN20 transfer 27 chromosomal markers in dic oriented man
ner with frequencies 1 . 10(-7)-5 . 10(-4). The experiments with inter
rupted mating permitted to consider these donor strains to be suitable
for mapping E. carotovora subsp. atroseptica 3-2 chromosome.
