Abstract

Summary

Evidence is presented for the chromosomal location of the coagulase determinant in most strains of . By the use of a pour-plate technique, transduction of the capacity to produce coagulase to a coagulase-negative mutant of was studied. The frequencies of transduction were low unless the transducing phage was exposed to ultraviolet irradiation and the recipient was lysogenised with the transducing phage. Attempts to transfer the coagulase gene from to were not successful.
