Bacteriophage SPO1

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: The Viruses ((VIRS))

Abstract

SPO1 is a large virulent bacteriophage of Bacillus subtilis, first isolated from soil in Osaka, Japan (Okubo et al., 1964). Because of its complex sequence of gene action and the isolation of mutations altering that sequence, SPO1 has been an object of intensive study, which has provided fundamental insights into the mechanisms of sequential gene action. The study of other aspects of SPO1 biology has not progressed as far but has identified several interesting phenomena that require further investigation. This review will summarize current knowledge of SPO1.
