| thymineless bacteriophage induction in staphylococcus aureus. i. high-frequency transduction with lysates containing a bacteriophage related to bacteriophage phi 11. | a thymine-requiring mutant of staphylococcus aureus, strain 8325 (pi258)thy, undergoes prophage induction and lysis after thymine starvation. four different phages were isolated from the lysate in low titers, among which was a phage designated phi 14, which differs from phage phi 11 in its immunity locus. the thymineless induced lysates of strain 8325(pi258)thy transduce the penicillinase plasmid at high frequency (10(-1), whereas transduction of chromosomal markers is inefficient. a plasmic-cur ... | 1975 | 127846 |
