Abstract

Ultraviolet (UV)-induced phage lysates, from lactose-positive ( lac + ) Streptococcus lactis C2, transduced lactose fermenting ability to lac recipient cells of this organism. Although the phage titer could not be determined due to the absence of an appropriate indicator strain, the number of transductants was proportional to the amount of phage lysate added. Treatment of the lysate with deoxyribonuclease had no effect on this conversion, indicating the observed genetic change was not mediated by free deoxyribonucleic acid. When the lac + transductants were isolated and exposed to UV irradiation, lysates with higher transducing ability were obtained. The transducing ability of this lysate was about 100-fold higher than that observed in the original lysates. The lac + transductants were unstable since lac segregants occurred at high frequency. The phage lysate from S. lactis C2 also transduced maltose and mannose metabolism to the respective negative recipient cells. The results demonstrate the transduction of carbohydrate markers by a streptococcal phage and establish a genetic transfer system in group N streptococci.
