Determination of Genome Size of Selected Typing Bacteriophages of Staphylococcus aureus1

Michael W Pariza 1,2, John J Iandolo 1
PMCID: PMC186754  PMID: 4278950

Abstract

The molecular weights of six representative typing bacteriophages were determined by sucrose gradient centrifugation. Genome size appeared to be related to the size of the phage head.
