Transduktion mit dem temperenten Proteus mirabilis‐Phagen π₁. I. Charakterisierung des Transduktionssystems

Abstract

The influence of adsorption and multiplicities of infection on the transducing system Proteus niirabilis--n, was studied. The frequency of transduction and the rate of survival depended on the duration of the incubation of the transducing mixture. The maximum of transducing frequency was obtained after 5 min of incubation a t 37 "C. This time corresponds t o that required for optimal adsorption. The frequency of transduction and the rate of survival depended on the multiplicities of infection. An optimal frequency of transduction for the system studied was obtained with multiplicities of infection ranging from 4:l to 8:l. Die Transduktionsbaufigkeit ist in allen bekannten
