Induction of the SOS response in UV-irradiated bacteria leads to an increase in the survival of an infecting irradiated bacteriophage lambda (Weigle 1953). We report that a similar reactivation of irradiated phage lambda was induced by shifting the culture of recipient bacteria from 30 degrees to 47

A thermosensitive lambda phage mutant was isolated which can grow at high temperature only in the presence of the lambda chi gene product supplied in trans. This mutation tn was mapped within the chi region, and lambda tn phage expressed the pRoR-OP operon only poorly at high temperature. Effects of
A method is described whereby bacterial mutants (sun) may be selected which are able to specifically suppress mutations in the N gene of bacteriophage lambda. The sun mutations seem to be allelic to suA mutations, which suppress the polarity of nonsense codons, since suA mutants have all of the prop
