Transposable Bacteriophages as Genetic Tools.
Phage Mu is the paradigm of a growing family of bacteriophages that infect a wide range of bacterial species and replicate their genome by replicative transposition. This molecular process, which is used by other mobile genetic elements to move within genomes, involves the profound rearrangement of the host genome [chromosome(s) and plasmid(s)] and can be exploited for the genetic analysis of the host bacteria and the in vivo cloning of host genes. In this chapter we review Mu-derived constructs that optimize the phage as a series of genetic tools that could inspire the development of similarly efficient tools from other transposable phages for a large spectrum of bacteria.
