One hundred fifty clones of each selected recombinant class were studied. Streptomycin was used for counterselection of the donor. The map positions of marker genes (in parentheses) are according to references 1 and 2. Recombinants of only two flagellar phenotypes, H16 and H54, were found; the H16 recombinants tested were stable, while those of the H54 phenotype produced an alternative flagellar phase, H16. mp, percent error.
