Characterization of the DNA from bacteriophage P2-186 hybrids and physical mapping of the 186 chromosome

Abstract
The DNA from two P2-186 hybrid phages and three 186 insertion mutants have been characterized by heteroduplex analysis and denaturation mapping. The results allow the orientation of the physical and genetic maps of bacteriophage 186 DNA and put physical limits on the chromosomal locations of the phage attachment sites, immunity genes and tail genes.
