✦ Synopsis

The largest of the fragments produced by AluI digestion of phi X174 RFI DNA comprises genes E and J as well as parts of genes D and F. This DNA fragment (1007 bp) was cloned into the lac z' gene of plasmid pUR222. In the recombinant plasmid pUH12, transcription of the phi X174 genes is controlled by the lac p-o region. Induction of the cloned genes by addition of the lac inducer, IPTG, resulted in lysis of the bacteria. Cloning of the corresponding AluI-fragment from phi X174am3 DNA, carrying an amber mutation in gene E, showed that the expression of this gene alone is sufficient to trigger cell lysis. The time interval between the addition of IPTG and the onset of lysis depended on the concentration of the inducer, however, the rate of lysis was similar at all IPTG concentrations used.

The lysis gene region of bacteriophage lambda, including genes S, R, and Rz, was cloned into the plasmid pBH20. In the recombinant plasmid, the lysis genes are expressed under the control of the lacOP region. Induction of this "lysis operon" with the lac inducer, IPTG, under conditions where transcr

Synthesis of tryptophanase, D-serine deaminase and alkaline phosphatase in Escherichia coli C was repressed as the result of infection with the single-stranded DNA bacteriophage d~X174. However, the degree of repression differed, the more catabolite-sensitive the operon was, the more severe was the

Thermosensitive mutants of E. coli defective in DNA replication were tested for their capacity to support multiplication of phiA and phiX174. At the restrictive temperature, the viral growth was markedly affected in dnaH, dnaZ, or ligts7 mutants. Even when these strains were transfected with RF1 mol
