PMCID: PMC355144  PMID: 4573365

Abstract

Amber mutant amB86 of bacteriophage Qβ is capable of causing the production of five to eight times more viral replicase than wild-type phage. Su bacteria infected with the mutant can carry the viral RNA in a plasmid-like state for many bacterial generations.
