Deletions in the rpoBC region have been transferred to phage lambda and characterized in detail by genetic, structural, and functional tests. We thus extend and confirm knowledge of the organization of this part of the chromosome. The new phages are useful tools for studying the genes for the bacterial transcription and translation machinery.
