Transduction experiments in Escherichia coli and Salmonella are usually performed with virulent phage variants. A widely used P1 mutant, called P1 vir, carries one or more uncharacterized mutations that prevent formation of lysogens. In the case of P22, by far the most frequently used variant is named P22 HT105/1 int-201 This phage has a high transducing (HT) frequency due to a mutant nuclease with lower...
