Cyclic thymineless death significantly increases frequency of R-plasmid elimination.

M J Tribe, R J Pinney.   

Abstract

Thymine starvation of Escherichia coli strain C600 thy (R46) eliminated the R plasmid at a frequency of 17%. This was increased fourfold, to 68%, after the same culture was subjected to an additional three cycles of growth followed by thymineless death.
