Abstract

Using genetical methods the group of phages segregating in succession from each other was obtained. In one case these phages originate from Pi-like transducing plasmid and in another case – from transducing λ-phage mutant (λ-4), integrated DNA-fragment of E. coli MS2-induced mutant. Serological properties of final phage variants demonstrate MS2 phage genetical information expression and appear to be evidence of its presence in the structure of all precedent phage forms.
