title: Region-specific recombination in phage T4. I. A special glucosyl-dependent recombination system.
abstract: In this communication, we describe a recombination mechanism in bacteriophage T4D that acts only on glycosylated phage, acts in some regions of the genome, but not others, and is heat sensitive, showing decreasing activity with increasing temperature.
