Plasmid pULB113 (RP4::mini-Mu), which contains the mini-Mu transposon, promoted both homologous and heterologous gene transfer from Pseudomonas fluorescens 6.2 and Alcaligenes eutrophus CH34. Homologous gene transfer in P. fluorescens 6.2 and A. eutrophus CH34 occurred at a frequency of 10(-4) to 10(-5), and recombinants inherited unselected recessive markers, suggesting a process of chromosome mobilization. Loci involved in autotrophic growth were among those transferred in A. eutrophus. In heterospecific matings, markers were transferred from P. fluorescens to A. eutrophus, Salmonella typhimurium LT2, and Escherichia coli, from A. eutrophus to P. fluorescens, and from Erwinia carotovora subsp. chrysanthemi to A. eutrophus. Heterospecific matings resulted in the formation of R-prime plasmids at frequencies of 10(-7) to 10(-4) per transferred plasmid. When S. typhimurium was the recipient, we observed R-prime plasmids with both restriction-proficient and restriction-deficient strains, although restriction markedly affected the frequency of transfer of pULB113. R-prime plasmids were quite stable, but lost the transposed marker more easily in a rec+ background than in a recA background, suggesting excision of transposed material by reciprocal recombination between flanking copies of mini-Mu. R-prime plasmids could be transferred easily into different recipients and were used in complementation studies. PstI restriction digests of four R-prime plasmids carrying P. fluorescens 6.2 DNA showed a number of additional bands, suggesting that several genes were transposed together with the selected marker on the plasmid.
