Abstract

Genetic and DNA heteroduplex analyses of lambda imm22 hybrid phages were used to compare the Salmonella bacteriophage P22 and coliphage lambda genes which control late gene regulation and lysis. Homologous DNA sequences were correlated with P22 gene 23 and lambda gene Q (late gene regulation) and with P22 gene 13 and lambda gene S (lysis control). Nonhomologous DNA sequences were correlated with P22 gene 19 and lambda gene R (lysozyme and endolysin) and with the region encoding the P22 alpha and lambda 6S transcripts.
