Sequence analysis of cohesive ends of the actinophage RP3 genome and construction of a transducible shuttle vector

FEMS Microbiol Lett. 1994 May 15;118(3):283-9. doi: 10.1111/j.1574-6968.1994.tb06842.x.

Abstract

The sequence of the cohesive ends of actinophage RP3 DNA has been determined. As with all other phages of Gram-positive bacteria that have been studied sofar, RP3 DNA has 3'-protruding ends. A shuttle cosmid has been constructed containing this cos area which can be efficiently transduced by phage RP3 to host cells of Streptomyces rimosus.
