This paper describes a genetic system for a group of fluorescent pseudomonads that oxidize an exceptionally wide variety of substrates. We have directed our studies of the versatility of these organisms to the question of specificity and to the mechanism of oxygen reduction. These studies have identified a number of multimeric monoxygenases. Optimum progress in resolution of these problems is dependent on genetic, in addition to chemical, study of their regulation and cellular organization. Our chemical studies can now be enhanced by concomitant use of genetic analyses.' Although there was no evidence of genetic interaction among strains of Pseudomonas putida, and little of bacteriophages parasitic upon members of the group, we considered transduction a likely enough method of gene transfer to merit investigation. The data reported below concern interstrain gene transfer in Pseudomonas putida via a transducing phage, pf16, whose characteristics are reported elsewhere.2 Prior to this work, a genetic system had been found in Pseudomonas aeruginosa,3 a species which contains a homogenous group of strains frequently associated with mammalian infection and which has not proved readily adaptable to metabolic studies. Two colony variants, opaque (op) and translucent (tr), which differ in ability to adsorb bacteriophages, occur in the camphor-oxidizing strain C1.4 2 The translucent variant of strain A3.12, employed by Stanier and his colleagues,5' 6 serves as both donor and recipient in interstrain gene transfer with a host-range mutant of pf16; this adsorption type differs from C1 and is designated A3tr.
