You are probably looking for:

Johnson, B.H. and Hecht, M.H., (1994) Bio/Technology, Vol. 12, 1357-1360

  It really looks promising in the article but, alas, it does not work for
pLysS or pLysE containing expression strains because thy simply lyze.  Did
anyone out there try this method?  If it turns out to be reproducible I
sure would like to know.
