REGION-SPECIFIC RECOMBINATION IN PHAGE T4. I. A SPECIAL GLUCOSYL-DEPENDENT RECOMBINATION SYSTEM

1 Tufts University School of Medicine, Department of Molecular Biology and Microbiology, 136 Harrison Avenue, Boston, Massachusetts 02111

In this communication, we describe a recombination mechanism in bacteriophage T4D that acts only on glucosylated phage, acts in some regions of the genome, but not others, and is heat sensitive, showing decreasing activity with increasing temperature.
