By mutagenizing a 2cIts (2ci857) lysogen, a 2 mutant has been isolated with a wild-type phenotype. This mutant phage lysogenizes with low efficiency and produces a low burst. Though the initial rates of repressor synthesis in Escherichia coli after infection with wild-type and mutant 2 are the same,

β¦ Synopsis
The high-affinity mutant cI gene of lambda cIha (Nag et al. 1984) was cloned in the multicopy plasmid pBR322. In the resulting plasmid, pMD 102, a lacUV5 promoter was inserted giving the lacUV5-cIha fusion plasmid pMD 205. Bacteria carrying pMD 102 and pMD 205 contain 2.5 and 15 times, respectively, the level of repressor in a monolysogen of lambda cIha. Results of the study of certain properties of the bacteria carrying these plasmids suggest that the ha repressor also has a higher affinity for the virulent mutant operators as well as the prm promoter of lambda.
