Viral mutation affecting bacteriophage phi 1 development in Bacillus subtilis 168.
Bacillus subtilis bacteriophage phi 1m, a host-range variant, was isolated after mutagenesis of virulent bacteriophage phi 1. Unlike its wild-type antecedent, phi 1m could not form plaques on lawns of B subtilis 168 at 37 C, although it adsorbed to, penetrated, and killed this bacterium. Experiments conducted in liquid medium at 37 C showed that B. subtilis 168 cells allowed reduced levels of p...
متن کاملAbortive infection of sporulating Bacillus subtilis 168 by phi 2 bacteriophage.
Bacteriophage phi2 is unable to replicate in Bacillus subtilis 168. Although some phage deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) synthesis can occur, the DNA made is not biologically active and sedimentation analysis reveals that it is smaller in size than that of mature DNA or DNA isolated from phi2-infected permissive hosts. Messenger ribonucleic acid hybridizable with phi2 DNA is also synthesized in phi2...
متن کاملRevised restriction maps of Bacillus subtilis bacteriophage phi 105 DNA.
Physical mapping of Bacillus subtilis temperate phage phi 105 DNA was carried out by using restriction endonucleases EcoRI, SmaI, and KpnI, and a new revised EcoRI cleavage map is presented. In addition, the EcoRI cleavage maps of six specialized transducing phages carrying sporulation genes of B. subtilis were revised.
متن کاملEvidence that Bacillus subtilis bacteriophage SP02 is temperate and heteroimmune to bacteriophage phi-105.
Some characteristics of Bacillus subtilis phage SPO2 which show that it is a temperate phage are presented. Wild-type SPO2 forms turbid plaques, similar to those of other temperate phages. SPO2 lysogenic strains which are resistant to SPO2 can be isolated; these strains remain stable lysogens despite the fact that they can no longer adsorb SPO2. SPO2 lysogenic strains can be grown for many gene...
متن کاملSuppressor system in Bacillus subtilis 168.
Multiple auxotrophic strains of Bacillus subtilis 168 were tested for joint one-step reversion of two or more auxotrophic markers to the wild-type phenotype. Mu8u5u5, a strain requiring leucine, methionine, and threonine, yielded revertants that grew without added methionine or threonine and proved to have a suppressor gene. When transferred by transformation with deoxyribonucleic acid, this su...
