Résumé :

Bacterial strains lysogenic for two prophages in tandem undergo a special kind of prophage excision ("dilysogenic excision") which does not depend on the three known recombination mechanisms. This excision is specifically between genes R and A - the terminal genes of the mature chromosome. This is evidence for the existence of Ter, a function which generates linear λ chromosome from structures in which the termini are linked. © 1969 Nature Publishing Group.
