Two loci termed pdeX and pdeY have previously been identified in the genome of transposable phage B39 of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Both of these loci must operate concomitantly for the normal expression of the phage. In the present study the pdeX (2.85-6.5 kb) and pdeY (6.4-16 kb) loci have been mapped by means of restriction and heteroduplex analysis of hybrid phages possessing the Pde/sup +/ and Pde/sup -/ phenotypes and obtained from the transposable phage B39ts/sup +/ x PH132 cross. The EcoRV-sites in genomes of phages D3112, B39, B39ts/sup +/ and PH132 have been mapped and the previously undetermined EcoRI-sites in the phage B39 genome have also been mapped. The Kpn1 site in the phage Ph132 genome has been localized.
