RESUMO
Plaque-forming, galactose-transducing lambda strains have been isolated from lysogens in which bacterial genes have been removed from between the galactose operon and the prophage by deletion mutation.—A second class has been isolated starting with a lysogenic strain which carries a deletion of the genes to the right of the galactose operon and part of the prophage. This strain was lysogenized with a second lambda phage to yield a lysogen from which galactose-transducing, plaque-forming phages were obtained. These plaque-forming phages were found to be genetically unstable, due to a duplication of part of the lambda chromosome. The genetic instability of these partial diploid strains is due to homologous genetic recombindation between the two identical copies of the phage DNA comprising the duplication. The galactose operon and the duplication of phage DNA carried by these strains is located between the phage lambda P and Q genes.
