Adsorption Specificity of Bacteriophage PBS1.
Frankel, Ruth W. (University of Oregon Medical School, Portland), and Terence M. Joys. Adsorption specificity of bacteriophage PBS1. J. Bacteriol. 92:388-389. 1966.-By use of newly isolated nonflagellate mutants, the location of the receptor site for phage PBS1 is confirmed as being on the flagella of Bacillus subtilis. Tests with partially purified flagella isolated from a culture of susceptible organisms, and with a strain of B. subtilis possessing nonfunctional flagella, show that phage PBS1 has an adsorption specificity for active flagella.
