An efficient and convenient method of introducing transposable elements into acetic acid bacteria was developed by the method of conjugal transfer. The ampicillin-resistant strain, Acetobacter sp. HA, was selected to be conjugated with two E. coli strains, WA803 containing pGS9 and AC8001 harboring pJB4JI. The Tn5 containing suicide vector pGS9 or pJB4JI, was transferred from E. coli to Acetobacter sp. HA and kanamycin-ampicillin-resistant transconjugants obtained at high frequencies. The conjugal frequencies of pGS9 and pJB4JI were 6.20$\times$$l0^{-1} and 2.79$\times$l0{-1}$ per recipient, respectively. The transfer method was applied on four different strains of Acetobacter. The conjugal transfer frequencies ranged from 2.00$\times$$l0^{-2} to 4.45$\times$l0^{-8}$ per recipient in the three strains. Some transconjugants tested were found to contain Tn5 DNA in their genomes and this was confirmed by Southem blot analysis. This is the first study which shows that Tn5 mutagenesis can be applied to successfully isolate mutants of Acetobacter genus.

TOL 플라스미드와 NAH 플라스미드는 n-알칸을 자화하는 P. putida KCTC 2405에 접합에 의해 각각의 이동은 가능하나 두 플라스미드는 불화합성에 기인하여 본 균주내에 공존할 수 없었다. TOL plasmid에서 불화합성 체계는 남겨두고 tol 유전자만 이 CAM plasmid내로 transposition 되어 형성된 CAM::TOL* 플라스미드는 NAH 플라스미드와 P. putida KCTC 2405에서 공존할 수 있어 m-toluate, naphthalene, camphor 및 n-alkane(C8-C24)를 분해할 수 있는 P. putida 3SK 균주를 육종하였다. CAM::TOL* 플라스미드는 선택성 배지에서 안정하였으나 비선택성 배지에서는 불안정하였다.

상업적으로 중요한 macrolide계 항진균 학생물질인 natamycin을 생산하는 Streptomyces natalensis ATCC27448의 환자 유전학적인 연구를 위해 대장균으로부터 S. natalensis로 plasmid DNA를 직접 도입하는 형질전환법을 확립하였다. 이러한 S. natalensis의 형질전환은 oriT와 attP 단편을 가지고 있는, ${\Phi}C31$ 유래의 integration 벡터인 pSET152를 이용하여 Escherichia coli ET12567/pUZ28002을 DNA 공여체(donor)로 이용한 접합전달법(conjugal transfer)을 사용하여 확립하였다. 접합전달의 가장 높은 효율은 10 mM의 $MgCl_2$를 포함한 MS 배지에서, $6.25\times10^8$의 E. coli 공여체와 열처리를 하지 않은 S. natalensis의 포자를 사용하여 얻어졌다. 또 얻어진 접합전달체 (exconjugant)에 대하여 southern blot hybridization과 벡터가 삽입된 염색체부분의 염기서열분석을 통해 attB site와 pseudo-attB site를 확인하다. attB site의 경우에는 다른 방선균들처럼 S. natalensis 염색체의 pirin 상동체를 코드하는 ORF내에 존재하였으나 pseudo-attB site는 염색체내 다른 site (GenBank accession no. $YP\_117731$)에 존재하였고 그 염기서열은 attB 염기서열과 차이를 나타내었다.

수계 환경에서 일어나는 유전자의 전이행방을 이해하기 위하여, conjugation에 의하여 전이되는 kanamycin 내성 ($Km^r$) 유전자에 대하여 DNA probe를 이용하여 Southern hybridization 방법으로 추적하였다. 자연계로부터 분리한 $Km^r$ 세균과 $Km^r$ 유전자를 유전자 조작기법으로 변형시킨 GMM 균주들을 donor로 하여 conjugation을 했을 때, $Km^r$ 유전자는 자연계 분리 균주에서보다 수질환경에 관계없이 10~00배 잘 전이되었다. LB 배지에서 GMM 균주의 $Km^r$ 유전자가 전이된 conjugant에서는 새로 생성되는 plasmid가 많이 나타났고 AW와 FW에서는 conjugation 시간에 따라 plasmid의 재배열 현상이 다양하였다. LB에서 얻은 conjugant들의 plasmid에 대하여 $Km^r$ DNA probe로 Southern analysis를 한 결과, plasmid의 재배열이 다양함에도 불구하고 conjugant들의 $Km^r$ plasmid는 donor에서와 같은 위치에서 hybridization signal이 나타났다. 그러나 AW에서 50시간 conjugation시켰을 때 DKI의 pDK101과 DKC601의 pDT529, 그리고 AW에서 30시간 conjugation 시켰을 때 DKC600의 pDK101은 전혀 나타나지 않고, 소실되었다. 또 전이된 $Km^r$ plasmid의 크기는 AW와 FW의 수질에 따라 약간 변화되어 나타났다. 그러므로 DNA probe에 의한 Southern hybridization 방법은 수질환경에서 특정 유전자의 전이행방을 추적하는데 매우 유용하다고 판단된다.

Streptomyces lavendulae FRI-5 produces the ${\gamma}$-butyrolactone autoregulator IM-2, which is required for nucleoside antibiotic producetion. We have developed a system for introducing DNA into S. lavendule FRI-5 via conjugal transfer from Esherichia cole. Conditions were established for conjugation of the oriT-and attP-containing plasmid pSET152 from E. coli ET12567 (pUZ8002) to FRI-5. Conjugation resulted in integration of the plasmid at the chromosomal C31 attB site. The frequency of intergeneric conjugation varied with the medium used. The highest frequency ($1.6\times10-5$ per recipient) was obtained on ISP medium 2 containing 10mM MgCl2. Southern blot and phenotypic analyses of exconjugants revealed that S. lavendulae FRI-5 contains a unique C31 attB site, and that integration of heterologous DNA into the attB site did not interfere with morphological differentiation or IM-2-dependent signal transduction, including the production of a blue pigment. This system will now enable detailed genetic analysis of the regulation of antibiotic production in S. lavendulae FRI-5.

Total of 11 strains of Ldctobacillus isolated from lactobacillus-fermented milk and-beverage in March 1980 were examined for susceptibility to 8 drugs, and transferability and transfer frequency of R plasmids by conjugation. Of 11 isolates each 2 strains were classified as L. cellobiosus and L. helveticus, each 1 strain as L. plantarum, L. lactis, L. acidophilus, L. delbrueckii, L. casei subsp. casei, L. casei subsp, tolerans and L. salivarius subsp, salivarius by Bergey's manual. Resistance was the most active to na lidixic acid(NA), followed in decreasing order by chloramphenicol(CP), ampicillin(AP), kanamycin(KM) and streptomycin(SM). All of isolates were resistant to NA, each 10 strains to CP and AP, 7strains to KM and 6 strains to SM, indicating all of the isolates were resistant to two or more drugs in combination. No strain was resistant to erythromycin(EM), penicillin(PC) and tetracycline(TC). The most frequently encountered resistant patterns were CP NA AP SM KM, followed by CP NA AP KM, NA AP, CP NA, CP NA AP and CP NA AP SM in order. Transfer experiment of drug resistance showed that of 11 resistant strains, 9 strains transferred parts of their resistance to AP or AP CP or SM AP, indicating 9 strains carried R plasmids determining R(AP), R(AP CP) and R(SM AP). The conjugal frequency of R(AP) from Lactobacillus to E. coli ranged from 2.5{\times}10^{-1} to $5.6{\times}10^{-4}%$, that of R(CP) ranged from 5.0{\times}10^{-1} to 5.0{\times}10^{-3}% and that of R(SM) ranged from 6.0{\times}10^{-5} to 1.4{\times}10^{-5}%, at $37^{\circ}C$ for 18 hours of incubation.

An endogenous cryptic plasmid, pBL1, which has been used to construct plasmid vectors for coryneform bacteria producing amino acids, was eliminated from Brevibacterium lactofermentum. The pBL1 was partially digested with Sau3AI and the resulting DNA fragments were subcloned into a suicide vector pEM1 which contains a kanamycin-resistant (km$^{r}$) gene. KM$^{r}$ B. lactofermentum transconjugants were obtained by conjugal transfer of the pEM1 derivatives containing pBL1 DNA fragments from Escherichia coli into B. lactofermentum. A km$^{r}$ transconjugant was analyzed to contain a plasmid pEB14, which occurred in vivo by homologous recombination between pBL1 and the conjugal-transferred plasmid. The pEB14 including the pEM1-derived km$^{r}$ gene was found to be lost concomitantly with km$^{r}$ phenotype, resulting in the construction of a pBL1-free strain of B lactofermentum. Based on transformation efficiencies and plasmid stability, the resultant pBL1- free strain is more useful than wild strain as a host cell for genetic manipulation. It could be concluded that foreign plasmid DNAs are efficiently isolated and analyzed from the pBL1-free strain because of the absence of endogenous pBL1 plasmid.
