Late events in T4 bacteriophage production. II. Giant bacteriophages contain concatemers generated by recombination.
Analysis of "giant" phage, which package concatenated DNA into their capsids, shows that they are predominantly heterozygous. The results are compatible with the hypothesis that concatemers are generated by recombination.
