Bacillus subtilis bacteriophage SPbeta: localization of the prophage attachment site, and specialized transduction

The attachment site for the prophage of SPbeta lies between ilvA and kauA on the chromosome of Bacillus subtilis strain 168. Specialized transduction of citK and kauA can be carried out by certain lysates of SPbeta.
