Transduction MappingTransduction Mapping
Only a small amount of chromosome, a few Only a small amount of chromosome, a few genes, can be transferred by transduction. The genes, can be transferred by transduction. The closer 2 genes are to each other, the more likely closer 2 genes are to each other, the more likely they are to be transduced by the same phage. they are to be transduced by the same phage. Thus, “co-transduction frequency” is the key Thus, “co-transduction frequency” is the key parameter used in mapping genes by parameter used in mapping genes by transduction.transduction.
Transduction mapping is for fine-scale mapping Transduction mapping is for fine-scale mapping only. Conjugation mapping is used for mapping only. Conjugation mapping is used for mapping the major features of the entire chromosome.the major features of the entire chromosome.

Some phages can transfer only particular genes Some phages can transfer only particular genes to other bacteria.to other bacteria.
Phage lambda (λ) has this property. To Phage lambda (λ) has this property. To understand specialized transduction, we need to understand specialized transduction, we need to examine the phage lambda life cycle.examine the phage lambda life cycle.
lambda has 2 distinct phases of its life cycle. lambda has 2 distinct phases of its life cycle. The “The “lyticlytic” phase is the same as we saw with the ” phase is the same as we saw with the general phage life cycle: the phage infects the general phage life cycle: the phage infects the cell, makes more copies of itself, then lyses the cell, makes more copies of itself, then lyses the cell to release the new phage.cell to release the new phage.

the lambda phage binds to the bacterial cell and injects its DNA. the lambda phage binds to the bacterial cell and injects its DNA. Once inside the cell, the lambda DNA circularizes, then incorporates Once inside the cell, the lambda DNA circularizes, then incorporates into the bacterial chromosome by a crossover, similar to the into the bacterial chromosome by a crossover, similar to the conversion of an F plasmid into an Hfr.conversion of an F plasmid into an Hfr.
Once incorporated into the chromosome, the lambda DNA becomes Once incorporated into the chromosome, the lambda DNA becomes quiescent: its genes are not expressed and it remains a passive quiescent: its genes are not expressed and it remains a passive element on the chromosome, being replicated along with the rest of element on the chromosome, being replicated along with the rest of the chromosome. The lambda DNA in this condition is called the the chromosome. The lambda DNA in this condition is called the “prophage”.“prophage”.
After many generations of the cell, conditions might get harsh. For After many generations of the cell, conditions might get harsh. For lambda, bad conditions are signaled when DNA damage occurs.lambda, bad conditions are signaled when DNA damage occurs.
When the lambda prophage receives the DNA damage signal, it When the lambda prophage receives the DNA damage signal, it loops out and has a crossover, removing itself from the loops out and has a crossover, removing itself from the chromosome. Then the lambda genes become active and it goes chromosome. Then the lambda genes become active and it goes into the lytic phase, reproducing itself, then lysing the cell. into the lytic phase, reproducing itself, then lysing the cell.
