Abstract
The demonstration of genetic recombination in Vibrio cholerae by Bhaskaran [1–4], provided new avenues for the study of variability in Vibrio species by Bhaskaran, Sinha and Iyer [8], Bhaskaran and Sinha [5], development of vaccine strains and evaluation of immune mechanisms in cholera by Bhaskaran and Sinha [6], Sinha and Bhaskaran [11, 12]. In the main, the genetic phenomenon identified in V. cholerae resembled sexual mating in Escherichia coli, chromosomal transfer occurring from a donor to a receipient strain by conjugation. The donor trait was determined by transmissible sex factor, designated P: P+ denoting the presence and P− absence of the factor in the strain concerned.
