The structural instability exhibited by IncP-1 plasmids in Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain PAT was shown to be Rec+ dependent and involved interaction with the resident plasmid pVS1. Structural instability resulted from deletion of plasmid deoxyribonucleic acid at a frequency of ca. 10(-2)/cell per generation. Deletants could be stabilized by transduction into P. aeruginosa strain PAO, but in strain PAT deletants had only a transient existence, as continued deletion led eventually to the loss of the entire plasmid. The patterns of markers lost in PAT were used to demonstrate a marker order for R68 similar to that published elsewhere for RP4 (Barth and Grinter, J. Mol. Biol. 113:455-474, 1977), except that only one Tra region was found. R68 also exhibited Rec+-dependent structural instability in PAO(pVS1) derivatives but, unlike the case in PAT, instability was not accompanied by chromosome mobilization. We isolated deletants of pVS1 which were unable to promote structural instability.
