Characterization of a Generalized Transducing Phage of Poly-(gamma)-Glutamic Acid-Producing Bacillus subtilis and Its Application for Analysis of Tn917-LTV1 Insertional Mutants Defective in Poly-(gamma)-Glutamic Acid Production.

T Nagai, Y Itoh.   

Abstract

A generalized transducing phage, (phi)BN100, was isolated from a Bacillus subtilis (natto) strain producing poly-(gamma)-glutamic acid ((gamma)PGA). Transduction frequencies for a given marker ranged from 3.8 x 10(sup-8) to 1.6 x 10(sup-6) per phage particle. The genome size of the phage was approximately 42 kb. (phi)BN100 was used successfully to identify bona fide Tn917-LTV1 transpositional mutants defective in (gamma)PGA production.
