Linkage groups in Bacillus pumilus determined by bacteriophage PBS1-mediated transduction.

چکیده
Two linkage groups were established in Bacillus pumilus NRRL B-3275 by bacteriophage PBS1 transduction. Group L contains the auxotrophic markers gly, his, and met. Group M contains the markers argO, met, ura, and cys.

Some properties of the PBP1 transduction system in Bacillus pumilus.
Bacteriophage PBP1 is a flagella-specific virus that performs generalized transduction in strains of Bacillus pumilus. PBP1 is morphologically and serologically distinct from two other flagella-specific phages, PBS1 and SP-15, which perform generalized transduction in certain Bacillus species. The DNA extracted from PBP1 particles has a buoyant density of 1.690 g/cm(3) in cesium chloride gradie...
متن کاملTransduction in Bacillus subtilis by bacteriophage SPP1.
Lysates of the virulent bacteriophage SPP1 were shown to be capable of mediating generalized transduction. Suppressible mutants of this bacteriophage (sus) were capable of transduction at a lower multiplicity of infection than virulent SPP1. Linkage analysis demonstrated that bacteriophage SPP1 transduced segments of the genome equal in size to that transferred by SP10. This bacteriophage shoul...
متن کاملGenetic mapping of a defective bacteriophage on the chromosome of Bacillus subtilis 168.
A genetic marker responsible for the killing activity of PBSX, a defective phage carried by Bacillus subtilis 168, has been located on the bacterial chromosome. Two mutant strains of B. subtilis 168, which produced tailless phage particles upon mitomycin C induction, were shown to carry lesions, designated xtl-1 and xtl-2, which were linked by transformation and PBS1-mediated transduction to me...

ABSTRACr Plasmid pUB10 (-2.8 X 106 daltons), originally detected in Staphylococcus aureus, specifies resistance to neomycin and has been transformed into Bacillus subtilis 168. In B. subtifis, pUBllO is stably maintained at about 50 copies per chromosome and renders the host resistant to neomycin sulfate at 5 jg/ml. pUBlIO isolated from B. subtifis transforms Rec+ and recE4-containing strains o...
متن کاملBacteriophage PMB12 conversion of the sporulation defect in RNA polymerase mutants of Bacillus subtilis.
The pseudotemperate phage PMB12 was isolated from soil on the basis of its ability to enhance the rate of sporulation of Bacillus subtilis 168. PMB12 was subsequently shown to convert the sporulation defect in two genetically distinct classes of sporulation mutants. One class includes those rifampin-resistant mutants that are also spore-negative (mutated at the rif locus). The other class inclu...
