Biochemical and biophysical properties of hyphomicrobium bacteriophage hyphi30.
Hyphomicrobium bacteriophage Hyphi30 and its nucleic acid were studied to determine some of their biochemical and biophysical properties. The molecular weight of the phage is 55.4 x 10(6), and its buoyant density is 1.508 g/ml. The nucleic acid of Hyphi30 is linear, double-stranded DNA with a molecular weight of 29.7 x 10(6). The guanine-plus-cytosine content of the DNA was 62% as determined from its melting temperature and buoyant density.
