The main difference between a self-transmissible and a mobilizable plasmid is that the self-transmissible plasmid

usually has a transposon inserted into it
transfers antibiotic resistance genes
carries genes encoding the mating apparatus
transfers both strands of the plasmid DNA

Microbial Recombination and Gene Transfer
The expression of gene X (which has promoter Px) is to be monitored. A gene fusion construction for carrying this work will

allow to monitor the expression of all genes with a promoter similar in sequence to Px
give the same information as from a microarray
have the promoter of lacZ or some other reporter gene
have Px but not the rest of the X coding region
