Abstract

The gene products of the lethal lysis genes S and E of the bacteriophages lambda and phiX174, respectively, were shown to be associated primarily with inner membrane material by isopycnic sucrose gradient centrifugation of lysates of infected cells. A small amount of each polypeptide appeared to be in the outer membrane fraction.
