[227 authors of 59 articles; 102 poster abstracts. Structure and evolution of plasmids (plasmids as organisms; structure and function; transposition in bacteria; transcriptional elements; IS 1; TnZ271; repeated sequences; mercury resistance transposon Tn813; plasmids in unusual systems). Replication, incompatibility and partition (the pi initiation protein; ori of E. coli; ori of adv; broad-host-range plasmid; copy number control; partition functions of Pl, P7 and F miniplasmids; replication regulon; control of chromosome replication; RNA 1 mutants of ColEl; DNA-protein interaction at ori; transcription initiation on TOL plasmid). Plasmid transfer (linear plasmids with terminal inverted repeats; conjugal plasmid transfer; stable inheritance of mini-F plasmid; sex pheromones; general genetic recombination; origin of DNA transfer; genetics of clindamycin resistance in Bacteroides; plasmid DNA primase; sex plasmids in Streptomyces). Specialized functions, structure and evolution (shuttle vector; degradation of chlorinated aromatic compounds; mer operon; iron uptake systems; iron sequestering; exotoxin A; hemolysin; virulence plasmid; plant cell transformation; regulation of CAT; larval toxin). Posters (replication, partition, specialized functions, structure and evolution, transfer, vectors)]. M.L. Hooper: Mammalian Cell Genetics. Wiley and Sons, New York, 1985, xiv + 175 pp. ($49.95) ISBN o-471-89201-7. (The cultured mammalian cell; selective techniques; cell variants; cell heterokaryons and hybrids; molecular somatic cell genetics; cell genetics and the germline; a rather superficial monograph with 817 references but without authors index; many important earlier references are missing; not all areas of the field are adequately covered). Prepared by A.J. Podhajska.
