Abstract
The absorption of Bacillus subtilis, phage PBSI was studied, and the primary adsorption site for this phage is the flagellum of B. subtilis. The capacity of flagella to function for motility may be lost without the loss of their capacity to adsorb the phage and permit infection. DNA injection by the phage is inhibited by cyanide, suggesting the requirement for cellular energy in the infection process.This publication has 17 references indexed in Scilit:
