The highly selective technique of integrative suppression has been used to determine the ability of autonomous transmissible plasmids to integrate into the E. coli chromosome.

All the F-like transmissible plasmids appear to be able to integrate, suppress the initiation defect and form Hfr-type donor strains. However, there is no evidence of integration with the I-like transmissible plasmids examined.
