[Genetic control of morphogenesis of Pseudomonas aeruginosa transposable phage D3112].
The influence of ts mutations in the early and late genes of transposable phage D3112 on phage morphogenesis was studied. The mutations in the early genes A, B and C were shown to suppress morphogenesis of D3112. Six genes (D, E, F, G, H and I), located from 14 to 29 kbp of the phage physical map, control morphogenesis of phage head. Five genes (J, K, L, M and N), clustered in the 29-36 kbp region of the map, control morphogenesis of tail. The similarity of genetic organization of the Escherichia coli transposable phage Mu and the Pseudomonas aeruginosa phage D3112 is discussed.
