Title: Temperature-Sensitive Mutants of Bacteriophage PBS 2
Authors: Herrington, Muriel Bella
Advisor: Takahashi, I.
Department: Biology
Keywords: biology;temperature-sensitive mutant;bacteriophage; PBS 2
Publication Date: Nov-1973
Abstract: <p> Temperature-sensitive mutants of the bacteriophage PBS 2 were isolated from lysates treated with various mutagens. Complementation tests assigned the mutants to 10 cistrons. The mutants were mapped by two factor crosses and formed a linear map approximately 50 recombination percent in length. </p> <p> A method for phage transformation was developed. By the use of wild type DNA fragments fractionated according to their guanine + cytosine content in HgCs₂SO₄ gradients, it was possible to determine the base composition of certain regions of the chromosomes. </p>
