Abstract
Results of experiments carried out in a number of laboratories demonstrate the interdependence of replication, recombination, and maturation in phage lambda (see, for example, the review by Stahl et al., 1973, and references cited there). The experiments summarized in this report relate to the role of recombination promoted by the Escherichia coli Rec system in the growth of deletion mutants of lambda that have lost the genes between att and cIII (Fig. 1). A detailed description of this work will be presented elsewhere (Henderson and Weil, manuscript in preparation).
