title: The fine structure and the protein composition of gamma phage of Bacillus anthracis.
abstract: The fine structure of gamma phage of Bacillus anthracis was studied by electron microscopy with a negative-staining technique. The phage has a hexagonal head and a long tail without a sheath. By electrophoresis on polyacrylamide gels, the proteins of the phage particles are separate into 10 polypeptides with molecular weights ranging from 140 000 to 12 000.
