AB - Summary The replication/partition region of the symbiotic plasmid p42d of Rhizobium etli CE3 is characterized by the presence of the repABC operon. A recombinant plasmid containing this region is able to replicate in a R. etli derivative cured from p42d, with the same stability and copy number shown by the parental plasmid. However, when this construct is introduced into the wild‐type strain, instead of exerting incompatibility against the p42d, it forms a stable cointegrate with it. In this paper, we show that a site‐specific resolvase, and its action sites are essential factors to displace the symbiotic p42d. We propose a model for this novel incompatibility mechanism.
