Lambdoid Coliphages Conferring a Novel Pattern of Phage Sensitivity on Escherichia coli K12

Alice P. W. Poon and T. S. Dhillon

Department of Botany, University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong

Seven temperate coliphages recovered from naturally occurring lysogenic strains of Escherichia coli were found to lyse E. coli C but not K12. Four of these C-specific phages produced mutants (hrk) able to grow on K cells. The K cells harbouring HK253hrk and HK183hrk were converted so that they could adsorb and be lysed by three other nonmutant C-specific phages. HK253, HK183 and two other phages were shown to recombine with phage lambda.

Keywords: bacteriophages, HK series, phage conversion, coliphages
