Abstract excerpt
Bacteriophage JHJ-1 was isolated from Saccharopolyspora hirsuta strain 367 NRRL 12045 as an endogenous but virulent phage. The plaque size was not self-limiting, since a few p.f.u. could completely lyse a lawn. Electron microscopy showed that this phage belonged to group B of Bradley's morphological classification. The JHJ-1 genome is a linear DNA molecule of 41.1 kbp with cohesive ends and a G + C content of...
