Growth of a Capsid Mutant of Bacteriophage φX174 in a Temperature-Sensitive Strain of Escherichia coli

Christine C Vito *, Sandy B Primrose *,1, C E Dowell *
PMCID: PMC354451  PMID: 1089804

Abstract

A capsid mutant of φX174 is capable of forming replicative form and synthesizing single strands at the restrictive temperature in a dnaB mutant of Escherichia coli. Under similar conditions, the wild-type bacteriophage is incapable of either step in viral synthesis.
