Transduction in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Nature volume 184, pages 1426–1427 (1959)Cite this article

Abstract

TRANSDUCTION has been demonstrated for Salmonella with phage P221, for Escherichia coli with phage P12 and phage 3633 and a transduction-like process has been described for Pseudomonas aeruginosa 4. Bhaskaran5 has described a process of genetic recombination in Vibrio cholerae which apparently involved transfer of genetic material by a bacteriophage.
