[Control of lysogeny and a genetic map of the temperate phage SM of Pseudomonas aeruginosa].
76 mutants with impaired ability to lysogenize host cells were isolated in SM phage after mutagenesis using several chemical mutagens. By means of complementation test, these mutants were distributed into two groups, cI and cII. The mutants of the cI group were similar phenotypically to the cI mutants of phage lambda defective in synthesis of repressor. The mutants of the cII group establish and support the lysogenic state in infected cells with very low frequency. Temperature-sensitive mutants belonging to 13 complementation groups and nonlysogenizing mutants of the cI and cII groups were used in genetic mapping of SM phage. Mutual positions of markers and relative distances between them were determined by the method of two-factorial crosses. The greatest distance equal to 20 units of recombination was determined between ts 88 marker and one of early genes marked with ts 105 mutation. The genes cI and cII are closely linked to each other and also to ts 105 marker and are situated at one end of the genetic map.
