We examined in detail conditions necessary for making reproducible and for maximizing the amount of deoxyribonucleic acid obtained from a sex factor-containing cell as covalent circles. The results argue that under optimal conditions covalent circles are neither created nor lost during the isolation procedure. The causes of the culture-to-culture variation in recovery of covalent circular deoxyribonucleic acid were investigated but an understanding of this is not yet at hand. Some commonly used conditions which drastically reduce the recovery of covalent circles are described.

X irradiation converts bacterial sex factor DNA covalent circles to more slowly sedimenting forms according to first order kinetics. The rate of conversion is greater for sex factors carrying lambda prophage than it is for nonlysogenized sex factors. The magnitude of the difference and the absence of covalent circular DNA from the product show that the prophage DNA is linearly inserted into the sex factor, as predicted by Campbell's model for lysogenization.
