RESUMO

Lambda tp mutants, selected for their ability to form turbid plaques on lon hosts, overproduce repressor. The tp1 and tp2 mutations have been located within (or adjacent to) the cIII gene. The tp1 mutation reduced late gene expression, as measured by endolysin synthesis (in the absence of functional cI repressor) and progeny phage yield. The tp4 mutation was mapped in the cY-cII region, and complementation tests indicated that tp4 affects the diffusible product of the cII gene. The tp4 mutation also reduced progeny production, but did not markedly affect endolysin synthesis.
