Transduction of linked chromosomal genes between Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains during incubation in situ in a freshwater habitat.

Abstract excerpt

Both transduction of single chromosomal loci and cotransduction of closely linked loci were observed between lysogenic and nonlysogenic strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in a freshwater habitat. Transductants were recovered at frequencies of 10(-6) to 10(-5) transductants per CFU. Transductants of lysogenized strains were recovered 10- to 100-fold more frequently than were transductants of nonlysogenic parents....
