✦ Synopsis

Bacteriophage phi 29 can infect B. subtilis minicells and synthesize all the phage-coded proteins detected in ultraviolet irradiated-infected B. subtilis cells. Synthesis of phage unit-length DNA has been obtained after infection of minicells with phi 29. The DNA can be encapsulated in particles with a sedimentation rate similar to that of phage phi 29 produced in B. subtilis cells. The particles produced in minicells can be adsorbed to B. subtilis cells, but infectivity has not been demonstrated because of the very low burst-size obtained.

Six deletion mutants of temperate Bacillus subtilis phage phi105 have been isolated on the basis of their increased resistance to chelating agents. The size and position of the deletions was determined by electronmicroscopy of DNA heteroduplexes. All deletions are located in a region about 55-70% fr

We attempted to use Bacillus subtilis phage phi 1 as a gene-cloning vector since the phi 1 genome was found to have few cleavage sites upon digestion with several kinds of restriction endonucleases. A phi 1 stock supplied by J. Ito (University of Arizona, Tucson, USA) consisted of two phages, phi 1E
