ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a method of obtaining altered plasmid contents in bacteria, bearing mutation in at least one of the chromosomal genes, nusG, rho, and dnaC, and the bacterial strains thereof, having the mutated chromosomal genes, individually or in various possible combinations, capable of altering the level of plasmids.
