Hfr- and P1-mediated genetic transfer experiments failed to confirm the presence of a " minA " gene in Escherichia coli K-12, leading to the conclusion that mutation at a single locus, the minB locus, is sufficient to cause minicell production in this species.
高频重组(Hfr)和P1介导的基因转移实验未能证实大肠杆菌K-12中存在“minA”基因,从而得出结论:在单个位点(即minB位点)发生突变就足以导致该物种产生微小细胞。
