Abstract excerpt
The penetration of bacteriophage T7 DNA into F plasmid-containing Escherichia coli cells was determined by measuring Dam methylation of the entering genome. T7 strains that cannot productively infect F-containing cells fail to completely translocate their DNA into the cell before the infection aborts. The entry of the first 44% of the genome occurs normally in an F-containing cell, but the entry of the remainder...
