Genetics of Novel Hybrid Bacteriophages and Development of Generalized Transducing System for 'Salmonella typhosa'.

Abstract

Various hybrid phages between coliphage and Salmonella phage were isolated using bacterial hybirds between E. coli and Salmonella typhimurium. These hybrid phage species were genetically mapped for homology with their parental phages. The hybrid phages phi-80-P22 and Mu-P22 carry the P22 early genes (at least c genes) and conserve the protein coats of phi-80 and Mu-1 phage respectively. Moreover, another hybrid class P22-phi-80 carries the protein coat of P22 and has at least the c region of phi-80. Preliminary experiments suggest that the hybrid phage P22-phi-80 is a generalized transducing phage.
