Abstract
We have investigated the possibility of growing mutator phages from Ps eudomonas aeruginosa on various isolates of Alcaligenes eutrophus. Alt hough none out of 10 A. eutrophus strains were susceptible to infectio n with any of the phages tested, phage D3112 could be readily transfer red in our model strain CH34 by means of an RP4::D3112 plasmid. CH34/R P4::D3112 lysogens were stable and produced phages. However, neither m itomycin C nor UV treatment increased the phage yield.
