Formation of polylysogens during infection of Escherichia coli with bacteriophage lambda
Journal Article
·
· Virology; (United States)
When bacteriophage lambda lysogenizes Escherichia coli, polylysogens occur at a frequency of ca. 40 percent. Most of the polylysogens are dilysogens. These are produced by the Int system alone or by the Int and Red systems together. The bacterial Rec system plays little or no role in a gam/sup +/ infection. Int-promoted polylysogens can arise either by sequential insertion of DNA monomers or by insertion of polymers. Int-Red-mediated polylysogens might arise by nonreciprocal exchanges; some of these may involve three DNA molecules.
