GENERALIZED TRANSDUCTION IN CAULOBACTER CRESCENTUS
Bert Ely 1 and Reid C. Johnson 1

Two closely related bacteriophage, 
Cr30 and Cr35,
are the first bacteriophage shown to mediate generalized transduction in
Caulobacter crescentus. Unlike most other transducing phage, they are
virulent and do not form any sort of lysogenic relationship with their host.
However, they are rather inefficient at adsorption, so that transductants
have a good chance of survival. The phage particles have a head 80 nm in diameter
and a contractile tail 140 nm in length. Procedures for growth and transduction
with Cr30 are relatively simple; thus, it will be of great value for
the genetic analysis of C. crescentus.
