Polar Mutations in the Left Arm of Bacteriophage λi434

PMCID: PMC356115  PMID: 4927522

Abstract

By studying complementation between frameshift and nonsense mutants located in the structural genes for the head of bacteriophage λi434, we found mutations in gene B which are polar on genes C and D and one mutation in gene E which is polar on gene F.
