The process of exogenic DNA penetration to the cells of bacteria and participation of protein products of separate phage genes in this process are described. The so-called E-proteins in a set with DNA penetrate through a cell membrane. In phage P22 they are protein products of phage genes 7, 16, 20. In P22 mutants with an altered transducing frequencies (HFT and LFT) the due functions are also coded by the phage genes. It is shown that the process of DNA packing in phages P22, phi 80, lambda and others is genetically determined. The gene transfer frequency depends on UV radiation and the very nature of transducing phages itself. In virulent phages the UV radiation up to inactivation level 95-99% evokes a decrease of their \"killer\" ability, which is accompanied by an increase of survivability of the formed transductants and, as a result, by enhancement of the transduction transfer frequency. An important role of the transduction analysis for fine mapping of a genome of microorganisms and its significance for practice are shown. A mathematical analysis of the data on cotransduction of linkage markers is presented as such that may be used when determining the value of transduced fragment of a chromosome.</p>","PeriodicalId":76162,"journal":{"name":"Mikrobiologicheskii zhurnal","volume":"54 3","pages":"75-86"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"12607611","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
