Abstract
Cotransduction of enterotoxin B synthesis into a recombination deficient mutant only occurred when the donor contained the pEntB plasmid. Enterotoxin B from chromosomal genotypes could not be established in such hosts. These data suggest that the entB gene is not capable of high-frequency translocation.Keywords
