We have found an inhibiting effect of hybrid RP4::D3112 plasmid (where D3112 is represented as genome of a transposable phage specific for Pseudomonas aeruginosa) on the development of temperate P. putida phage PP56. The study of the effect has revealed a previously unknown locus (in the region 12-14.2 kb of the D3112 genome) which functions in the prophage state. The locus affects PP56 decreasing phage yield. Mutants of PP56 insensitive to inhibition were found.
