Abstract
The temperature bacteriophage Mu can integrate at random into the genome of its host Escherichia coli K12 (Taylor, 1963). Mu is a very powerful tool for genetic manipulations: it can produce strongly polar mutations, deletions, integration of episomic elements into the chromosome and transposition of genes into episomes (Howe and Bade, 1975; Bukhari et al., 1977).
