RESUMO
Bacteriophage SPP1 infection of Bacillus subtilis cells bearing plasmids induces the synthesis of multigenome-length plasmid molecules. Two independent pathways can account for this synthesis. In one of those, homology to the phage genome is required, whereas in the other such homology is not a prerequisite. In wild type cells both modes overlap. In dnaB(Ts), at non permissive temperature, or in recE polA strains the main concatemeric plasmid replication mode is the homology-dependent plasmid (hdp) mode. The rate of recombination-dependent concatemeric plasmid DNA synthesis is a consequence of a phage-plasmid interaction which leads to chimeric phage::plasmid DNA. The second mode, which is an homology-independent plasmid (hip) mode seems to be triggered upon the synthesis of a phage encoded product(s) (e.g. inactivation of the exonuclease V enzyme).
