Bacteriophage-induced mutation in escherichia coli.
TL;DR: A new temperate bacteriophage (phage Mul) of E. coli strain K12 is described and it is proposed that loss of genetic functions is a direct consequence of phage integration at functional loci.

TL;DR: It is inferred that Mu-1 can integrate at a very large number of chromosomal sites, which makes it distinct from other known temperate coliphages; the lambdoid phages attach at a particular site, P2 phage attaches at a limited number of sites and P1 resides in the cell as a plasmid6.
