## Abstract The protein products of at least 21 phage genes are needed for the formation of the tail of bacteriophage T4.

## Abstract Bacteriophage T4 tail fibers are rodlike structures with a contour length of about 1400 Γ…, a diameter of about 45 Γ…, and a total mass of about 600,000 daltons. The assembly of the tail fibers and their subsequent attachment to the phage particle are under the control of 8 phage‐induced

## Abstract The characteristics of pure preparations of short‐tail fibers of bacteriophage T4 have been studied in the optical and electron microscope. Three main structures were observed: 1) spheres of 8.1 nm diameter; 2) fibers 43 nm long and 3.8 nm thick; and 3) fibers 54 nm long and 3.2 nm thic
