TABLE 3.
EOP of T4 phage on different E. coli mutants
| Strain | Relevant genotype | Relative EOP of T4a | Relative EOP of T4 2b |
|---|---|---|---|
| JC5519 | recB recC | 1 | 1 |
| AB1157 | Wild type | 0.91 ± 0.18 | 0.0012 ± 0.0002 |
| LMM1248 | xonA sbcD | 0.94 ± 0.15 | 0.0019 ± 0.0003 |
| LMM1245 | recA | 0.93 ± 0.28 | 0.0055 ± 0.0024 |
| LMM1249 | xonA sbcD recA | 0.90 ± 0.15 | 0.0025 ± 0.0007 |
a
The EOP of T4 on each strain is expressed relative to the EOP on control recB recC strain JC5519, which averaged 3.2 × 1010. The values are averages of four independent determinations ± standard deviations.
b
The EOP of T4 2 on each strain is expressed relative to the EOP on control recB recC strain JC5519, which averaged 1.9 × 1010. The values are averages of six independent determinations ± standard deviations.
