✦ Synopsis

A new mutant of bacteriophage P1 designated lxc that suppresses the phenotype of lexC and ssbA mutants of Escheriehia eoli was isolated and characterized. The properties of lexC mutants suppressed by the lxc mutation include temperature sensitive growth at 42 ° C, sensitivity to ultraviolet light and alkylating agents, and a nonmutagenic response following exposure to ultraviolet irradiation. A bac mutant of bacteriophage P1 that suppresses the temperature sensitivity of dnaB mutants does not affect the phenotype of lexC or ssbA mutants. Neither the lxc or bac mutations affect the ultraviolet light sensitivity of strains with the mutations uvrA155, lexAl02, or recA56.

The E. coli suA mutant (T82), which is a suppressor of polarity by virtue of its impaired transcription termination factor (rho) activity, is shown to be an efficient suppressor of lambdaN- mutants. The relief of the N requirement by this host is reflected in a substantial restoration of growth and
