title: A physical map of the genome of the Bacillus subtilis temperate phage rho 11.
abstract: A cleavage map of Bacillus subtilis temperate phage rho 11 was constructed with restriction endonucleases SalI, BamHI and BglII, which cut the genome into 6, 7 and 21 fragments, respectively. The molecular weight of the rho 11 genome was calculated to be 78 x 10(6). Among other endonucleases tested, PvuII, EcoRI and XbaI cleaved the genome into more than 25 fragments, while HaeIII, StuI, BalI and BamNx did not cut the genome at all. The rho 11-coded thymidylate synthetase gene, thyP11, was found to be located in the SalI-D fragment, which was in the central region of the genome.
