Abstract
Eighteen temperature-sensitive mutants of mycobacteriophage I3 have been
isolated and partially characterized. All the mutants were defective in vegetative replication.
Based on temperature shift experiments with the temperature sensitive mutants, the
thermosensitive phase of the phage development period has been characterized for each
mutant. The genes have been mapped by recombination analysis. The early, continuous and
middle genes seem to cluster on the genetic map.
