Abstract

The ability of a wide range of bacteriophage-resistant mutants to act as recipients in conjugation with F'lac pro and R100-1 donors has been studied. A number of mutant types defective in recipient ability with F'lac pro, as well as mutants which were hyperrecptive with R100-1, have been detected.
