Dear Colleges,
we are working on conjugation and transformation mediated by plasmids in soil
bacteria. Therefore we like to establish methods to detect a wide range of those
strains by PCR technics and antibodies.
To determine the number of soil bacteria which are carrying transferable
plasmids and to test our PCR primers and antibodies we need all kind of strains,
with any conjugal transfer system and the cured strains, if possible.
If you are storing such strains in your bacterial collection and if you are willing
to send us one ore two or ... or just for further information, it would be fine if
you contact us by using one of the following addresses:
