KORMAN, RUTH Z. (Elmira College, Elmira, N.Y.) AND DAVID T. BERMAN. Genetic transduction with staphylophage. J. Bacteriol. 84 :228-236. 1962.-Transduction by crude lysates obtained by ultraviolet-light induction of phage 53 lysogenic derivatives of Staphylococcus aureus NCTC 8511 has been confirmed. A defined medium and sugar-differential medium were developed, permitting demonstration of transmission of sugar-fermentation loci. The range of transmissible markers has been extended to include
