[Plasmid complex of E. coli B-13].
The plasmid complex was identified in a wild type strain B-13 of Escherichia coli. The complex was found to contain four conjugative R-plasmids / pAP24 -1 fi+, pAP24 -2 fi-, pAP24 -3 fi-, pAP24 -4 fi-/, one conjugative Col-plasmid / pAP24 -5/ and one conjugative F-like plasmid Ent/ pAP10 -2 fi+/. The molecular weight of pAP24 -1 is 53.6 X 10(6), pAP24 -2 - 40.9 X 10(6), pAP24 -3 - 73.8 X 10(6), pAP24 -4 - 51,3 X 10(6). It is suggested that an autonomous transfer factor exists in the plasmid complex.
