Abstract
Conjugal transfer of the Streptococcus lactis 712 lactose plasmid was found to occur at a low frequency. Variants of this plasmid were selected which had much greater donor abilities and which also exhibited an unusual cell aggregation phenotype.This publication has 18 references indexed in Scilit:
