COMMENT     SGRef: number: 2; type: "Journal Article"
COMMENT     Addition of heated chlortetracycline induces synthesis of Flp 
            recombinase, thereby inverting the recA gene so that it is 
            expressed.
            Growth at 42(o)C inactivates the temperature-sensitive mutant Rep101
            protein, causing loss of the plasmid.
