[Isolation, characterization and mapping of the N15 phasmid insertion mutations].
Prophage of N15 temperate bacteriophage is stably maintained in Escherichia coli lysogens as a 46.33 kb linear plasmid. Using different transposons we obtained 18 insertion mutants of the N15 plasmid prophage. They were analysed for plaque formation ability, stability of the plasmid state and lysogenic conversion. Restriction mapping of the insertions allowed us to localize on the map the regions necessary for lytic growth and to map the lysogenic conversion gene. A recombinant phage encoding two antibiotic resistance genes was obtained. The phage contains an additional 4.77 kb DNA fragment (over 10% of the N15 genome).
