Lambda duplication phages grown for several rounds onEscherichia colistrains containingarlmutations were recombined at elevated frequencies (3 to 6-fold higher) in subsequent test infections. Enhanced recombination of Arl−phages (grown onarlbacteria) was demonstrable by assays for altered genetic linkages as well as by the standard assay, which measures the conversion of duplication phages (EDTA-sensitive) to single-copy phages (EDTA-resistant). The accumulated potential for enhanced recombination was lost during subsequent growth of the phages onarl+bacteria. Arl−phages had the same mutation frequencies, at a variety of loci, as control phages;arlbacteria themselves exhibited normal mutation rates. Arl−phages had normal plating efficiencies and buoyant densities. DNA extracted from Arl−phages exhibited the same frequency of strand interruption, the same superhelical density (when circularizedin vivo), and the same thermal denaturation profile as DNA from phages grown onarl+bacteria. Recombination of Arl−phages in the presence of λ repressor was very low, as is the case for normal phages. The recombination frequency of ultraviolet light irradiated (80 J/m2) Arl−phages was more than twice the sum of the frequencies for unirradiated Arl−phages and irradiated control phages. Substantially increased recombination of Arl−phages was observed when either theE. coliRecBC, or RecE (but not RecF) pathway was active.
