Transformation of a spo + strain by these derivative plasmids gave occasional recombinants in which the chromosome of the recipient had acquired the plasmid-borne spoIIA mutation. Both types of behaviour were recE + dependent. Mutations spoIIA42 and spoIIA69 fell into a single complementation group., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/micro/10.1099/00221287-128-11-2813
