RESUMO
Total intracellular DNA was isolated from replication-restricted bacteriophage lambda crosses in which the infecting parents were heteroallelic for wild-type and deletion mutant alleles. This DNA was examined for the presence of heteroduplex DNA molecules that contained wild-type sequences in one strand and deletion-mutant sequences in the other. Molecules hybrid for a 689-nucleotide deletion in the immunity region of lambda were detected at significant levels only in crosses in which both the red recombination system of lambda and the rec recombination system of Escherichia coli were active. Molecules hybrid for a 1300-nucleotide deletion in the central portion of the lambda genome were detected at significant levels in DNA isolated from both red+ and red- crosses in which recA function was present.
