The integration frequency of phage att80 immlambdac1857 into the chromosome of a mutant strain H47 Escherichia coli K-12 deleted for the normal prophage insertion site is found to be about 20-fold decreased as compared with its integration into the wild type strain. The most of the resulting lysogens contain the prophage at the secondary attachment site of the mutant bacterial chromosome which is preferentially utilized for prophage insertion. This attachment site (att80-II) is located close to his-genes on the chromosome of H47 strain. Prophage curing procedure of such abnormal lysogens results in the appearance of rare auxotrophic heat-resistant survivors with the His- phenotype. In some cases the prophage insertion can induce an inversion of a neighbouring genetic region. Such lysogens contain the purC gene near prophage located at the att80-II site, and after curing they segregate the heat-resistant His- and Pur- colonies.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008242 Lysogeny The phenomenon by which a temperate phage incorporates itself into the DNA of a bacterial host, establishing a kind of symbiotic relation between PROPHAGE and bacterium which results in the perpetuation of the prophage in all the descendants of the bacterium. Upon induction (VIRUS ACTIVATION) by various agents, such as ultraviolet radiation, the phage is released, which then becomes virulent and lyses the bacterium.

D004926 Escherichia coli A species of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria (GRAM-NEGATIVE FACULTATIVELY ANAEROBIC RODS) commonly found in the lower part of the intestine of warm-blooded animals. It is usually nonpathogenic, but some strains are known to produce DIARRHEA and pyogenic infections. Pathogenic strains (virotypes) are classified by their specific pathogenic mechanisms such as toxins (ENTEROTOXIGENIC ESCHERICHIA COLI), etc. Alkalescens-Dispar Group,Bacillus coli,Bacterium coli,Bacterium coli commune,Diffusely Adherent Escherichia coli,E coli,EAggEC,Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli,Enterococcus coli,Diffusely Adherent E. coli,Enteroaggregative E. coli,Enteroinvasive E. coli,Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli

D014161 Transduction, Genetic The transfer of bacterial DNA by phages from an infected bacterium to another bacterium. This also refers to the transfer of genes into eukaryotic cells by viruses. This naturally occurring process is routinely employed as a GENE TRANSFER TECHNIQUE. Genetic Transduction,Genetic Transductions,Transductions, Genetic
