Isolation, characterization and mapping of temperature-sensitive mutants of mycobacteriophage 13. Journal of Biosciences. 1985 Mar; 7(1): 39-47.http://imsear.searo.who.int/handle/123456789/160299Eighteen 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.enMycobacteriophage I3temperature sensitive mutantsrecombination analysisgene mappingArticle
