Conjugal transfer of the small plasmid pUB110 between Bacillus subtilis strains was studied under conditions of microcosms with sterile and nonsterile soil. Plasmid transfer proved to be possible after soil inoculation with vegetative partner cells or with their spores. Plasmid transfer occurred at temperatures of 30 degrees C and 22-23 degrees C.
