The amidase genes of Pseudomonas aeruginosa were inserted into a lambda replacement vector following cleavage with the restriction endonuclease HindIII. The recombinant lambdaami was detected by enhanced growth of Escherichia coli around plaques of the recombinant phage on minimal medium containing

β¦ Synopsis
Methods are described for the construction of plaque-forming, transducing derivatives of phage lambda, using appropirate receptor genomes and fragments of DNA generated by the restriction enzymes endo R.EcoRI and endo R.HindIII. The general properties of the transducing derivatives are described and discussed. Plaque-forming phages carrying the E. coli trp, his, cysB, thyA, supD, supE, sup F, hsd, tna and lig genes have been isolated.

Lambda transducing phages carrying the excision repair genes uvrA+ and uvrC+ were selected from a pool of lambda phages carrying EcoR1 fragments of E. coli DNA. These phages and also lambdauvrB+ (obtained from Gottesman) were used to make lysogens of excision-defective strains carrying uvrA-, uvrB-
E. coli recF mutants have a greatly reduced capacity for Weigle mutagenesis of ultraviolet light-irradiated lambda phage. A recF 332::Tn3 mutation was introduced into an E. coli recA441 lexA51 strain which constitutively expresses SOS functions. Weigle mutagenesis of phage lambda could occur in the
The position of the metJBLF gene cluster in the transducing phage lambda met102 was determined by ligation of its leftmost EcoRI fragment (102-1) to the lambda BCDEF (nin5) EcoRI fragment of lambda gtl (lambda BC) and characterization of the resultant recombinant phage. The new transducing phage car
