RESUMO

DeWitt, Susanne K. (University of California, Berkeley) and Edward A. Adelberg. Transduction of the attached sex factor of Escherichia coli. J. Bacteriol. 83:673–678. 1962.—The linkage of the sex factor to one extremity of the chromosome in Hfr cells of Escherichia coli has been confirmed by transduction experiments. In Hfr P4x-6, lac is the last marker to penetrate the female during conjugation. When lac+ was transduced from P4x-6 into a lac− strain by phage Plkc, 5% cotransduction of the sex factor was observed. No cotransduction of the sex factor was observed when markers other than lac+ were selected.
