Abstract excerpt

We have performed a new screen for T4 mutants (comC) that overcome the phage growth restriction caused by the Escherichia coli rho/tabC mutants. We show that one such mutant (comCJ) identifies a different gene from that identified by canonical comC mutants. We compare the regulation of T4 prerepl...
