Evidence that the neck appendages are adsorption organelles in Bacillus subtilis bacteriophage phi29

Evidence that the neck appendages are adsorption organelles in Bacillus subtilis bacteriophage phi29

F Moreno et al. J Virol. 1978 Sep.

Abstract

A mutant of Bacillus subtilis unable to adsorb phage phi29 efficiently has been isolated. This mutant can be infected by host range mutants of the phage. Since the host range mutations map in cistron 12, which codes for neck appendage protein, this would tend to confirm that these organelles are involved in viral adsorption.
