Defective specialized SP beta transducing bacteriophages of Bacillus subtilis that carry the sup-3 or sup-44 gene.

چکیده
We isolated defective specialized transducing phages of SP beta that carry one of the extracistronic suppressors, sup-3 or sup-44. Lysates containing these phages can be used in a simple spot test to determine whether an auxotrophic mutation can be suppressed. The sup-3 and sup-44 mutations are distinct, in that their suppression patterns differ for the markers hisA1, metC3, and thr-5; and they are not alleles.

Specialized transduction of the ilvD-thyB-ilvA region mediated by Bacillus subtilis bacteriophage SP beta.
Specialized transducing SP beta particles were found that carried the Bacillus subtilis genes lying to the left of the prophage attachment site. Three classes of transducing particles were differentiated, depending upon whether they carried ilvA only, thyB and ilvA, or ilvD, thyB, and ilvA. Lysates prepared by the induction of strains that carried both a transducing phage and a plaque-forming p...
متن کاملTransduction in Bacillus cereus and Bacillus anthracis.
A phage, designated CP-51, that carries out generalized transduction in Bacillus cereus and B. anthracis, has recently been isolated from soil. Transducing phages for members of the genus Bacillus have been described previously for B. subtilis and B. licheniformis (2-6). Those that have been best characterized are PBS-1 for B. subtilis (4) and SP-10 and SP-15 for both B. subtilis and B. licheni...
متن کاملGlutamine synthetase subunit mixing and regulation in Bacillus subtilis partial diploids.
A specialized transducing phage, SP beta c2 dglnA2, of Bacillus subtilis was used to construct partial diploids with various glutamine auxotrophs. The overproduction of manganese-stimulated glutamine synthetase no longer occurred in the diploids. The kinetics of heat inactivation of the enzyme extracted from two diploids suggests that there was subunit mixing.
متن کاملControl of lysogeny and immunity of Bacillus subtilis temperate bacteriophage SP beta by its d gene.
The d gene from the Bacillus subtilis temperate bacteriophage SP beta was isolated. When introduced into an SP beta-sensitive strain of B. subtilis, the cloned d gene directed the synthesis of a 22-kilodalton protein and conferred on the host immunity to SP beta phage. A frameshift mutation, designated d2, was introduced into the cloned d gene, and it was subsequently crossed back into the SP b...
متن کاملRevised restriction maps of Bacillus subtilis bacteriophage phi 105 DNA.
Physical mapping of Bacillus subtilis temperate phage phi 105 DNA was carried out by using restriction endonucleases EcoRI, SmaI, and KpnI, and a new revised EcoRI cleavage map is presented. In addition, the EcoRI cleavage maps of six specialized transducing phages carrying sporulation genes of B. subtilis were revised.
