Popis: Expression of transposable phages (TP) of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in the cells of P. putida was studied. The high efficiency of phage lytic development was shown both as a consequence of zygotic induction after transfer of the RP4::TPc+ plasmid into nonlysogenic recipients, and as a result of heat induction of lysogens PpG1 (D3112cts15). The high phage yield (20-25 particles of D3112cts phage per one cell of P. putida) is an evidence for a high level of transposition in the cells of this bacterial species. Plasmids RP4::TP are transferred into cells of PpG1 and PAO1 with similar frequency. However, the efficiency of establishment of the lysogenic state is lower in PpG1. Transposable phages of P. aeruginosa can integrate into the chromosome of PpG1 producing stable inducible lysogens. The presence of RP4 in the P. putida cells is not necessary for expression of transposable phages. The transposable phage D3112cts15 can be used in experiments of interspecies transduction of plasmids and chromosomal genes.
