Thus, the B. subtilis phages encompass a di-verse group with widely varying properties and
offer many advantages for biochemical studies of DNA replication, control of transcription …

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the physical, chemical, and biological properties
of the vibriophages and vibriocins. On the basis of the lytic patterns, vibriophages can be …

Suppressor-sensitive mutants of phage Φ29 have been isolated and classified in 13
complementation groups. These mutants have been complemented with the temperature …

Bacteriophage φ29 induces, in UV-irradiated B. subtilis, the synthesis of 12 non-structural
proteins as well as the 7 structural polypeptides which form the viral particle. The molecular …

Phage φ29 suppressor-sensitive (sus) mutants of 14 cistrons have been examined for
production of 14C-labeled viral-specific proteins in restrictive infections of Bacillus subtilis …

Bacteriophage φ29 messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) production following infection of
Bacillus subtilis has been analyzed. Early (e) φ29 RNA, made prior to the onset of phage …

The synthesis of ribonucleic acid (RNA) during development of the virulent Bacillus subtilis
bacteriophage φ29 has been analyzed. Transcription of host deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) …

A DNA-containing bacteriophage for Thiobacillus novellus has been isolated from sewage
and purified by ammonium sulfate precipitation, differential centrifugation, and cesium …

DNA-dependent RNA polymerase was purified from uninfected and ϕ29-infected Bacillus
amyloliquefaciens. Differences were observed in the specific activities, template specificities …

Bacteriophage MX-1 is a virulent DNA phage for Myxococcus. The host range includes
strains of Myxococcus xanthus, M. fulvus and M. virescens. The phage has a sedimentation …
