Replication of Bacteriophage ST-1 in Escherichia coli Strains Temperature Sensitive in DNA Synthesis

J Michael Bowes 1
PMCID: PMC355460  PMID: 4598786

Abstract

Bacteriophage ST-1 replication requires DNA polymerase III (dnaE) but not DNA polymerases I or II, DNA ligase, or the products of dnaA, B, or C-D. It was not certain whether dnaG was required. These results differ considerably from those reported for φX-174.
