Abnormal excision and transfer of chromosomal segments by a strain of Escherichia coli K-12.

abstract：:Renaturable regions in the DNA strands of the N group plasmid pCU1 have been visualized as stem-loop structures by electron microscopy. Four such distinct structures are described, the smallest of which is within the loop of a larger one. The region of pCU1 in which these structures occur has several restriction sites...
