The possibility of conjugational transfer of the plasmid pAM beta 1 in the cells of different strains of Bacillus anthracis has been established. The efficiency of the plasmid replicon transfer in interspecies transfer B. thuringiensis X B. anthracis was n.10(-7), while in interspecies transfer it was n.10(-6). The capability of mobilization of extrachromosomal replicon pTG141 for conjugational transfer has been demonstrated. Bacillus anthracis transconjugants harbouring the pAM beta 1 plasmid have acquired the donor properties in conjugation.
