The Isolation Of λ Transducing Phages Carrying the citG and gerA Genes Of Bacillus Subtilis Moir, Anne,, 129, 303-310 (1983), doi = https://doi.org/10.1099/00221287-129-2-303, publicationName = Microbiology Society, issn = 1350-0872, abstract= SUMMARY: λgt WES derivatives carrying the citG (fumarase) gene of Bacillus subtilis have been detected by complementation of an Escherichia coli fumarase mutation in lysogen-filled plaques. The gerA gene, mutations in which affect the germination response of spores to l-alanine, is also present on the two citG transducing phages described. The cloned regions in these two phages include EcoRI-generated fragments of 5·0 kb and 1·4 kb; the former fragment carries citG4 +., language=, type=
