Lysogenization of ultraviolet-irradiated Escherichia coli with lambda: dependence on the recA and recB gene products.
The lysogenization of ultraviolet-irradiated Escherichia coli cells by the lambda phage was studied. Genetic analysis indicates that changes in the number of the lysogenized cell during post-UV growth is primarily due to the change in the proteolytic activity of RecA protein. Full proteolytic activity is achieved only in the presence of the functional recB gene product.
