The F pilus of Escherichia coli appears to support stable DNA transfer in the absence of wall-to-wall contact between cells.

L C Harrington1, A C Rogerson.   

Abstract

Separation of HfrC-F- mating pairs of Escherichia coli by a filter 6 microns thick with straight-through pores 0.01 to 0.1 micron in diameter did not prevent DNA transfer. We conclude that the F pilus alone is capable of acting as a stable conduit for cell-to-cell DNA transfer.
