Spontaneous emergence of an Hfr strain with a cit plasmid from natural isolates of citrate-positive Escherichia coli bovine origin.

Abstract:

:From citrate-utilizing (Cit+) Escherichia coli strain C53 of bovine origin, strains C53A and C53B were obtained. Upon mating with recA+ but not with recA mutant recipients of K-12, C53A produced chromosomal recombinants at quite high frequencies, leading to the following conclusions: (i) C53A is an Hfr strain; (ii) the site of integration of the Cit plasmid (IncH1) is between metA (89 min) and ara (1 min); (iii) the direction of chromosome transfer is clockwise; and (iv) the plasmid-associated determinants are transferred as the terminal markers. A transductant of a dnaA(Ts) strain, CRT46, which acquired Cit determinants from a recombinant, SG13, was also an Hfr strain similar to SG13, and thermoresistant due to suppressive integration. On the other hand, unstable C53B did not produce recombinants, but the frequency of RecA-independent transfer of the Cit plasmid was high, indicating that the Cit plasmid (IncH1) exists autonomously in C53B. Attempts to isolate an Hfr strain from C53B failed.
