- Mutation of bacteriophage with respect to type of plaque. Hershey, A.D. (1946). Genetics 31:620-640. Only a few instances of well defined mutation have been described for the bacteriophages. The best known form a class of mutations affecting host range, recently studied by Lurai (1945a; 1945b), whose papers may be consulted also for mention of the earlier literature. ¶ This paper is concerned with a second class of mutations, occurring within single plaques of certain coli-dysentery phages, where the appearance of the mutant type occasionally gives rise to variegated plaques. From the variegated plaques, the mutant is readily isolated by virtue of its distinctive plaque type and proves to differ from the parent type in causing prompt rather than delayed lysis in diluted culture, but to be nearly identical with it otherwise in growth characteristics, host range, and antigenic specificity. ¶ The new mutation has been described in a preliminary note (Hershey and Bronfenbrenner, 1945), and the existance of the two types of phage ("T4a" and "T4b") in lysates has been mentioned by Demerec and Fano (1945). A series of mutations affecting plaque type, which like ours was not related to adaptation to resistant bacterial strains, was noted by Sertic (1929). Its relation to the mutation described here is not clear from the published description. [TOP OF PAGE]
