Genetic studies of coliphage 186. I. Genes associated with phage morphogenesis.
In coliphage 186, 22 essential genes were defined by complementation studies with amber mutants. Eighteen genes were associated with phage morphogenesis: 11 with phage tail formation, and 7 with phage head formation. The remaining four genes are discussed in the accompanying paper (S. M. Hocking and J. B. Egan, J. Virol. 44:1068-1071, 1982).
