Miniphage-a class of satellite phage to M13

Miniphage-a class of satellite phage to M13

J A Hewitt. J Gen Virol. 1975 Jan.

Abstract

Satellite or defective bacteriophage particles can appear in extensively recycled stocks of coliphage M13. These particles, herein known as miniphage, replicate using the wild type bacteriophage as a helper. Their physical properties (u.v. spectra, sedimentation of DNA and bacterophage, electrophoretic moblitiy) are described and a method for the isolation of specific satellite bacteriophage is presented.
