Location of the SPO2 Attachment Site and the Bryamycin Resistance Marker on the Bacillus subtilis Chromosome

The attachment site on the Bacillus subtilis chromosome for the lysogenic bacteriophage SPO2 has been mapped by PBS1-mediated transduction and was found to be between spc-2 and lin-2, showing 90% linkage to the former and 30% linkage to the latter marker. In the course of these studies the bry-2 marker was mapped between the cysA14 and str-1 loci.
