A virulent phage of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, phi KZ which is able to package DNA of 210 MD is a general transducer. The transducing activity of phi KZ can be revealed when using recipient bacteria containing RMS148 plasmid (the P7 group of incompatibility). This plasmid blocks the development of phi KZ and prevents the phage to kill bacteria. General transduction mediated by phi KZ may be useful for the primary localization of genetic markers in P. aeruginosa.
铜绿假单胞菌的一种烈性噬菌体phi KZ能够包装210 MD的DNA，它是一种通用转导噬菌体。当使用含有RMS148质粒（不相容性P7组）的受体细菌时，phi KZ的转导活性可以显现出来。这种质粒会阻碍phi KZ的发育，并阻止噬菌体杀死细菌。由phi KZ介导的通用转导可能有助于在铜绿假单胞菌中对遗传标记进行初步定位。
