Abstract
A cross is made between 2 mutants of phage T 1 with a multiplicity of infection of 4 of each type. Infected bacteria are opened during the latent period after the method described by Doermann, and recombinant percentages are determined. From the increase of recombinant frequency and the increase of particle number, the recombination percentage and the mating experience of the particles in the pool are calculated, making use of the equations of the Delbrück-Visconti theory. From the linear increase of mating experience follows constant mating probability between 8 and 14 min after infection. It is shown in the discussion that the beginning of mating occurs very likely at 4 min. The mating probability is constant over the entire length of the latent period, thus being independent of the pool size.
