Abstract
Incompatibility between ColE1 plasmids in Escherichia coli can be explained by competition for a limited number of replication sites. These sites ensure directive segregation of plasmids to daughter cells on cell division. The number of sites can be more than one only if a linear segregation mechanism is postulated.This publication has 18 references indexed in Scilit:
