Bacteriophage T5 chromosome fractionation: genetic specificity of a DNA fragment.
The bacteriophage T5 DNA fragments retained by a population of blended early complexes, formed under conditions of limited viral DNA transfer to host cells, appear to include only one of six tested cistrons. When complexes harboring wild-type fragments are infected with appropriate amber mutants, recombination occurs but apparently is not needed for productive infection.
