Abstract excerpt

DNA from a virulent mutant of the temperate 1P+f phage for Bacillus brevis var. G-B belongs to AT-type (GCequals34.5 mole %) and contains 5-methylcytosine (0.17 mole %) and N6-methyladenine (0.32 mole %). The amount of these minor bases in the phage DNA does not depend on the bacterial host (P- a...
