Abstract

Transposon mutagenesis of the bacterium Myxococcus xanthus with the transposon Tn5 revealed a special class of bacterial mutants that transduced the transposon through culture supernatant fluids. Virus-like particles copurified with transducing activity. Transposon tagging for detecting these virus-like particles may be generally useful in isolating endogenous viral agents capable of transferring genetic information between cells.
