“…Our observation that a chromosome-borne Tn916 can mobilize a nonconjugative plasmid (e.g., pAM401 or pVA749) at a low frequency (i.e., less than 2% cotransfer) is consistent with that of Naglich and Andrews (23), who reported that a Tn916-dependent transfer of nonconjugative plasmids between Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus thuringiensis also occurred at a relatively low frequency. However, these observations differ somewhat from those of Guffanti et al (16), who recently reported a relatively high frequency of plasmid mobilization between B. subtilis and Bacillus firmus by the conjugative transposon Tn925.…”

“…In cis, the transposon provides the proteins needed for transfer (257). The Tn916 family can mobilize plasmids in trans (48,183,297). Low levels of tetracycline increase the transfer of these genes and also increase the ability of the bacterial host to spread antibiotic resistance genes to other isolates, species, and genera (48,69,297).…”

“…Small tet(K) or tet(L)-carrying plasmids are not self-transmissible but can be transmi�ed into the recipient cells by the conjugation by means of conjugative plasmids or conjugative transposons co-resident in the same cell (Naglich and Andrews, 1988). These provide their conjugative apparatus and mobilize small plasmids either in trans or in cis.…”
