Deletion mutants of the temperate Streptomyces phage phi C31 were selected by two methods: resistance to the chelating agent sodium pyrophosphate, and plating of a phi C31::pBR322 hybrid phage on Streptomyces albus G to obtain large plaque mutants. The deletions defined a 7.7 kilobase (kb) segment of the phi C31 genome which is inessential for plaque formation, in addition to a shorter segment including the repressor gene. Analysis of deletions and insertions suggested that the minimum size of the phi C31 genome allowing plaque formation is 37.5 kb (91% of the wild-type length of 41.2 kb), and the maximum is at least 42.4 kb (103%). These results indicate that it should be possible to introduce up to 10 kb of foreign DNA into a suitably developed phi C31 vector.
