An investigation into the partition functions of the broad-host-range Plasmid pTF-FC2

The broad-host-range Thiobacillus ferrooxidans plasmid pTF-FC2 is stably inherited over many generations despite a low copy number. The pas genes which lie between the repB primase and the repA helicase encode a proteic plasmid stabilisation system and are capable of stabilising the unstable heterol...
