Induction of the SOS response in Escherichia coli inhibits Tn5 and IS50 transposition.

abstract：:A procedure is described that uses an indicator plasmid (pSC201) to identify cells in a bacterial population that have been co-transformed with a second plasmid lacking detectable phenotypic properties. Under appropriate conditions of indirect selection, between 50 and 85% of transformants carrying the indicator plasm...
