Two-component nature of bacteriophage T4 receptor activity in Escherichia coli K-12.
Escherichia coli bacteriophage T4 uses the lipopolysaccharide of the outer cell envelope membrane as a receptor. Lipopolysaccharide from E. coli K-12 required a major outer membrane protein, polypeptide Ib, for phage inactivation.
