Abstract:Temperate phage kappa originated from the defectively lysogenic Serratia marcescens strain K, from where it was liberated after uv irradiation with low efficiency. The phage is usually indicated on strain HY that can be easily lysogenized by it and rather efficiently uv-induced. Comparing the Eco RI restriction profiles of the kappa prophage in HY revealed a DNA rearrangement, by which the precursor structure in K is converted into the non-defective form. Apparently the fragment containing the pac sequence is … Show more
