Abstract The survival of Escherichia coli K-12 J62-1 containing the antibiotic-resistance plasmid R1 and an isogenic plasmid-free strain were studied in pond water microcosms. The number of plasmid-containing cells recovered from the microcosms remained constant over a sampling period of 31 days whereas plasmid-free cell numbers declined.
