We use a mathematical model to analyze the dynamics of loss of nonconjugative pACYC184 from populations of Escherichia coli B in glucose-limited continuous culture. This model incorporates both plasmid segregation and selection against plasmid carriage. It is concluded that there is intense selection against plasmid carriage (s = 0.3 per culture generation), which amplifies the frequency of segregants arising de novo.
我们使用一个数学模型来分析在葡萄糖限制的连续培养中,大肠杆菌B群体中非接合型pACYC184质粒丢失的动态变化。该模型纳入了质粒分离和对携带质粒的选择作用。结果表明,存在针对携带质粒的强烈选择作用(每代培养的选择系数s = 0.3),这会增加从头产生的分离菌的频率。
