Abstract
The biological properties and genome structure of two actinophages, 121 and SE-5, infecting Streptomyces erythraeus were characterized. They had the same host range (limited to S. erythraeus) and similar DNA G + C contents (around 60 mol%). Restriction maps of their genomes also showed many similarities. The close relationship between the two phages was confirmed by DNA hybridization experiments: large parts of their genomes were homologous, except for a segment in the middle of the map, where no hybridization was detected.This publication has 8 references indexed in Scilit:
