Bacillus subtilis bacteriophage SP01, SP82, and phi e require host lysyl- and tryptophanyl-tRNA synthetases for phage development.
Infection of Bacillus subtilis mutants having temperature-sensitive lysyl- or tryptophanyl-tRNA synthetases with bacteriophage SP01, SP82, or phie indicates that both host enzymes are essential for phage development. No apparent modification of the temperature-sensitive phenotype of the mutant host enzymes occurs during phage infection.
