Isolation and characterization of the Streptomyces cattleya temperate phage TG1.
A temperate actinophage, TG1, was isolated from soil by growth on Streptomyces cattleya and has been shown to be potentially useful for the cloning of DNA in this organism and other streptomycetes. It forms stable lysogens by integration at a unique site on the chromosome. The phage genome consists of 41 kb of double-stranded DNA with cohesive ends. It has unique sites for ClaI, NdeI, PstI, SmaI, and XbaI. The PstI site has been shown to be in a dispensable region of the phage genome. Deletions (2 kb in length) were obtained which retain this site and should be useful for the cloning of DNA.
