title: Serotype-converting bacteriophage D3 of Pseudomonas aeruginosa: vegetative and prophage restriction maps.
abstract: D3 is a temperate serotype-converting bacteriophage of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. A restriction map, based upon BamHI, PstI, PvuI, HindIII and SmaI sites, indicates that the phage genome is 56.4 kb long, and that it possesses cohesive ends. The prophage map suggests a unique insertion site in the strain AK1380 genome. Phage DNA integration occurs upon the circularization of D3 genome with the integration point approximately equidistant from the two ends.
