Abstract
Abstract A high frequency of transformation strain of estuarine Vibrio species is derived from a parent strain naturally transformable with broad-host-range plasmids. The strain has a unique morphology and is generated from the parental strain by transformation by broad-host-range plasmid multimers, a cured of the plasmid by growth of plasmid transformants and nonselective medium resulting in the cured high frequency of transformation strain that transfer significantly more frequently than the parental strain.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
105 words
A substantially pure form of high frequency of transformation strain of an estuarine Vibrio species selected from the group consisting of WJT-1C, MF-4C, and JT-1, said strain being derived from a parent strain naturally transformable with broad-host-range plasmids, said strain having a crenate colony morphology being rod shaped motile with single polar flagellum, oxidase positive and able to ferment glucose, said strain being generated from the parental Vibrio strain, transformed by broad-host-range plasmid multimers, and cured of said plasmid by growth of plasmid transformants in nonselective medium resulting in said cured high frequency of transformation strain that transform significantly more frequently than the parental strain.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
105 words
A substantially pure form of high frequency of transformation strain of an estuarine Vibrio species selected from the group consisting of WJT-1C, MF-4C, and JT-1, said strain being derived from a parent strain naturally transformable with broad-host-range plasmids, said strain having a crenate colony morphology being rod shaped motile with single polar flagellum, oxidase positive and able to ferment glucose, said strain being generated from the parental Vibrio strain, transformed by broad-host-range plasmid multimers, and cured of said plasmid by growth of plasmid transformants in nonselective medium resulting in said cured high frequency of transformation strain that transform significantly more frequently than the parental strain.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
19 words
A transformation strain as set forth in claim 1 wherein said plasmids are Inc P4 and MC P1 plasmids.
Claim 4
