Tryptophan-requiring parental strains yield Salmonella typhimurium x Escherichia coli hybrid recombinants with functional tryptophan operons.
Crosses between an Escherichia coli Hfr trp strain and three Salmonella typhimurium F- trp strains produced some trp+ hybrids in which the tryptophan operon is composed of genes from both parental species.
