Abstract excerpt
Bacteriophage Mu is one of the most efficient transposons known, capable of moving a hundred viral copies to new positions in the bacterial chromosome in an hour. Mu also forms stable lysogens. In bacteria lysogenic for the defective protein fusion-forming phage MudII1681, which can transpose and replicate but does not encode genes for DNA packaging and cell lysis, the frequency of transposition changes as...
