Abstract
EcoRI fragments of Staphylococcus aureus bacteriophage phi 11 DNA were cloned in vector plasmid pSA2100 in S. aureus. The clones were analyzed in marker rescue experiments with suppressor- and temperature-sensitive mutants of phi 11 to correlate the genetic and physical map. Several mutants could be identified on the physical map, and a clone containing fragment EcoRI-B of phi 11 DNA expressed immunity to phage infection. In addition, it was found that recombinant plasmids containing phi 11 DNA sequences can be transferred by high-frequency transduction after phage phi 11 infection of host cells.Entities:
