Suggestions as to quantitative measurements of plasmid loss.

Abstract:

:Suggestions are made for the estimation of plasmid loss rates in bacterial populations that multiply by binary fission. The plasmid loss rate is defined as the probability of a division of a plasmid-carrying individual giving birth to one plasmid-free and one plasmid-carrying daughter cell. The unit of time is consequently the interdivision time for plasmid-carrying individuals. The cautions that have to be taken when the population is cultivated in serial transfer (the usual stability experiment) are discussed.
