Association of Replicative T4 Deoxyribonucleic Acid and Bacterial Membranes

Robert C Miller Jr 1
PMCID: PMC356559  PMID: 4564586

Abstract

Experiments utilizing CsCl density gradient analysis and radioactive labels specific for bacteriophage T4 deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and membranes have shown that replicative T4 DNA is associated with host membranes. The association is inhibited by chloramphenicol and takes place just prior to semi-conservative replication of the phage DNA.
