Proteus mirabilis Converting Phage 5006Mp{alpha} has an Oversized Genome

G. H. J. Pretorius and W. F. Coetzee

MRC Unit for Microbial Genetics University of Pretoria, P.O. Box 2034 Pretoria 0001, Republic of South Africa

Proteus mirabilis phage 5006Mpa is a converting variant for ampicillin resistance of phage 5006M. We show here that the ampicillin resistance marker of transposon Tn1 is located on a 9.8% insertion with respect to the wild-type phage genome. This renders the 5006Mpa genome 5% oversized, albeit without loss of wild-type genetic material from the phage population.

Keywords: permuted, phage, Tn1, oversized
