Genes (g) 36 and 37 code for the proteins of the distal half of the long tail fibers of phage T4, gene product (gp) 35 links the distal half to the proximal half of this fiber. The receptor, lipopolysaccharide, most likely is recognized by gp37. Using as probe a restriction fragment consisting of mo
