Can you devise an experimental strategy to get PI phage to trans duce the entire genome

Question:

Can you devise an experimental strategy to get PI phage to trans duce the entire λ genome from one strain of bacterium to another strain? (The general features of phage lambda's reproductive cycle are described in Chapter 17.) Phage λ has a genome size of 48,502 nucleotides (about 1% of the size of the E. coli chromosome) and can follow the lytic or lysogenic reproductive cycle. Growth of E. coli on minimal growth medium favors the lysogenic reproductive cycle, whereas growth on a rich medium and/or under UV light promotes the lytic cycle.
