Erwinia aroideae carries a cryptic plasmid with 30 S sedimentation coefficient. Plasmid F'ColVColBtrpcys does not dissociate in E. aroideae and is replicated under stringent control since the number of plasmid copies per chromosome does not exceed one. The behaviour of F'ColVColBtrpcys plasmid in E. aroideae is characterized by (1) instability observed at both spontaneous and after EB treatment, (2) depression of plasmid genes that determine colicin synthesis.
