Novel bacteriophage and method for breeding thereof.

摘要

The DNA of a novel bacteriophage is characterized in that (1) in the upstream portion from the late promoter necessary for the transcription of genetic information for the biosynthesis of coat proteins up to the cohesive end, there is no endonuclease cleavage site or there are endonuclease cleavage sites permissible in number for the reconstruction of a DNA molecule when the DNA is cleaved with endonuclease into fragments and then these fragments are rejoined with DNA ligase, and (2) in the downstream portion from the late promoter down to the cohesive end, there is one or more endonuclease cleavage sites.
