pFDX1 is a recombinant plasmid which carries a foreign gene xylE. By selecting for kanamycin-resistant mutants of Bacillus stearothermophilus CU21(pFDX1) at higher temperature, a variant strain CU21-163 was obtained. This strain harbors a mutant plasmid pFDX163, which was formed by insertion of a 2.0kb H-fragment from the CU21 genome onto the plasmid pFDX1. pFDX163 was supposed to be integrated into the CU21 chromosome via homologous recombination of H-fragments. The CU21-163 strain consists of two cell types, i.e. y-cell and w-cell. The expression level of xylE gene in the former is higher than that in the latter. The progeny of a y-cell always contains some w-cells, while that of a w-cell contains y-cells. This is supposed to be due to a phase variation of CU21-163. Analysis on the amount of free and integrated plasmid DNA in different DNA samples of CU21-163 cells allows us to draw the conclusion that there are both free and integrated plasmids in the y-cells, whereas only integrated ones in the w-cells.
