Predominance of bacteriophage SP82 over bacteriophage SP01 in mixed infections of Bacillus subtilis

Predominance of bacteriophage SP82 over bacteriophage SP01 in mixed infections of Bacillus subtilis

C R Stewart et al. J Virol. 1981 Jun.

Abstract

In mixed infections with Bacillus subtilis phages SP82 and SP01, the SP82 genotype is predominant among the progeny. This predominance is determined by a specific region of the genome, the pos region, which apparently is located near genes 29 to 32 (by the SP01 numbering system). Recombination between SP82 and SP01 yields phage which have both the SP82 pos region and an SP01 mutation. This mutation then behaves in mixed infection as if it were part of an SP82 genome.
