The effect of hsdC on the loss of hsd genes

Donor		Recipient		Percent of transductants with donor phenotype^* DnaC⁺ Hsd⁻

NM840	r_K⁻m_K⁻	NM827	r_K⁺m_K⁺	23 (14/61)
		NM865	r_K⁺m_K⁺	50 (15/30)
NM840	r_K⁻m_K⁻	NM822	r_K⁻m_K⁺, HsdC⁻	36 (20/55)
		NM866	r_K⁻m_K⁺, HsdC⁻	50 (12/24)

NM840	r_K⁻m_K⁻	NM839	r_K⁺m_K⁺, HsdC⁻	50 (27/54)
NM515	r_D⁺m_D⁺	NM846	r_K⁺m_K⁺, HsdC⁻	— (0/85)^†
NM515	r_D⁺m_D⁺	NM839	r_K⁺m_K⁺, HsdC⁻	— (0/26)^†

Percent with DnaC⁺ Tet^S phenotype varied from 66% to 84%.

^†

Absence of r_D⁺m_D⁺ transductants confirms HsdC⁻ phenotype of recipient.
