Table 1. Transduction in enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli.
Selection | Transductants per 10 µl lysate | |||
---|---|---|---|---|
Plate 1 | Plate 2 | Plate 3 | Average | |
Lac + | 130 | 128 | 134 | 131 |
Ara + | 72 | 71 | 73 | 73 |
Mal + | 89 | 88 | 88 | 88 |
Lac - (GM9289), Ara - (GM9290) and Mal - (GM9291) derivatives of KM80 were transduced with a lysate prepared on GM9251. The number of transdcutants on each of three plates is shown followed by the average. There were no colonies on plates seeded with the recipient strain alone or from the GM9251 lysate.
