Phage Mu-1 and a thermoinducible derivative, Mu-1 cts 62 were inserted into the broad host range R factor RP4. These hybrid plasmids were transferred by conjugation to a phytopathogenic bacterium Pseudomonas solanacearum GMI 1000 and a legume-root nodule bacterium Rhizobium meliloti 2011. The Mu genome is transcribed and tranlated in these new hosts: P. solanacearum (RP4:Mu cts) cultures have a spontaneous production of about 5 X 10(5) plaque-forming units ml-1 which is similar to the frequency of spontaneous Mu production in E. coli; the Mu production of R. meliloti is lower (about 10(2) plaque-forming units ml-1).
噬菌体Mu-1及其热诱导衍生物Mu-1 cts 62被插入到广宿主范围的R因子RP4中。这些杂交质粒通过接合转移到一种植物致病细菌茄科假单胞菌GMI 1000和一种豆科植物根瘤菌苜蓿根瘤菌2011中。Mu基因组在这些新宿主中进行转录和翻译：茄科假单胞菌（RP4:Mu cts）培养物中自发产生的噬菌斑形成单位约为5×10⁵/ml，这与大肠杆菌中Mu的自发产生频率相似；苜蓿根瘤菌的Mu产生量较低（约10²噬菌斑形成单位/ml）。
