RESUMO

Bacteriophage Mu d1 (lac Aprr) was used to obtain strains of Escherichia coli K-12 in which the lac genes are expressed from the promoter of pheA, the structural gene for the enzyme chorismate mutase P-prephenate-dehydratase. A derivative of bacteriophage lambda which carries the pheA-lac fusion was prepared; the method used is generally applicable for the construction, from Mu dl lysogens, of specialized transducing lambda phage carrying the promoter-lac fusions. A restriction enzyme cleavage map of lambda ppheA-lac for the enzymes HindIII and PstI is presented.
