Deletion of the Escherichia coli K-12 chromosome associated with P2 mediated education extend through the structural gene for uridine kinase, udk, and the dcd gene encoding 2'-deoxycytidine 5'-triphosphate deaminase. The lack of uridine kinase makes a positive selection possible for these strains. Due to the dcd mutation, P2 eductants show large alterations in their deoxyribonucleoside triphosphate pools.
与P2介导的转导相关的大肠杆菌K-12染色体缺失延伸至尿苷激酶的结构基因udk以及编码2'-脱氧胞苷5'-三磷酸脱氨酶的dcd基因。尿苷激酶的缺失使得对这些菌株进行阳性选择成为可能。由于dcd突变,P2转导体在其三磷酸脱氧核糖核苷库中表现出巨大变化。
