They can program still other strains of bacteria to manufacture proteins they normally cannot make. Most incisive use has been made of a defective phage that carries the E. coli gene involved in the breakdown of the sugar lactose to the simpler sugars glucose and galactose. 3, record 1, English, - transducing%20phage

In the mid-1970s, recombinant DNA methods [led the way for] the isolation of ... genes [but it] faced several obstacles. One was the need for development of disabled hosts and vectors that would have no significant probability of surviving outside the laboratory, and that would satisfy the criteria of biological containment established in the 1976 National Institutes of Health guidelines. Another, more fundamental obstacle was the need for methods that would allow the identification of bacteria that carried the cloned genes in which we were interested. 1, record 2, English, - isolation%20of%20a%20gene

Certains bactériophages(...) ont la propriété lorsqu'ils infectent une bactérie d’intégrer un gène bactérien dans leur génome(...). Un exemple classique est le bactériophage lambda, qui, au cours de sa multiplication dans le colibacille, intègre parfois dans son génome un gène du colibacille, le gène galactose par exemple. Lorsque le phage lambda se multiplie dans la bactérie, il se forme cent à mille copies du génome du phage dans chaque bactérie parasitée. Le gène galactose porté par le phage est alors amplifié d’autant. On peut considérer, et ceci est une notion nouvelle par rapport au clonage cellulaire, que grâce au phage il y a eu clonage du gène galactose. En effet, grâce au phage transducteur il y a eu isolement d’un gène(le gène galactose), puis amplification de ce gène. Toute la population(ou clone) de phage transducteur contient ce même gène galactose. Cela est largement utilisé pour étudier la structure et le fonctionnement des gènes bactériens. 1, record 2, French, - isolement%20d%27un%20g%C3%A8ne
