pMO1111, a derivative of FP110 carrying a Tn1 insert, has been used to generate two plasmid primes carrying Pseudomonas aeruginosa chromosome. pMO1112 has been shown to carry the pro-82+ gene and pMO1113 carries argH+ and lys-12+. pMO1112 is considerably more stable than pMO1113 in a recA+ background.
