Probability of establishing chimeric plasmids in natural populations of bacteria.

B R Levin, F M Stewart.   

Abstract

Formulas for estimating the probability that chimeric plasmids carried by disarmed hosts will become established in natural populations of bacteria are presented and their use illustrated with a series of realistic numerical examples. The implications of these a priori probability estimates for the problem of containment for recombinant DNA research is discussed.
