  1. The fine structure of bacteriophages. Bradley, D.E., Kay, D. (1960). Journal of General Microbiology 23:553-563. The 'negative contrast' method for the preparation of viruses for electron microscopy was used to study 22 different bacteriophages. A great variety of features is described, leading to some morphological grouping. The use of uranyl acetate on coliphage T5 revealed subunit structure in both the head ad tail, features not shown by the conventional phosphotungstic acid treatment. [TOP OF PAGE]

  5. Formation of phage receptors induced by galactose and in a galactose-sensitive mutant of Salmonella. Fukasawa, T., Nikaido, H. (1960). Virology 11:508-??? "Although Salmonella mutants lacking 4-epimerase lose all the galactose of their polysaccharides, their generation time and general viability in galactose-free nutrient media are unaffected (Fukasawa and Nikaido, 1959). The galactose-free creatures are even protected from attack by the phage P-22 (Fukasawa and Nikaido, 1960), because they have lost the superficial phage receptor sites whose specificity depends on galactose and the deoxyhexoses which nest on galactose."

  7. Encounter efficiency of coliphage-bacterium interaction. Koch, A.L. (1960). Biochim. Biophys. Acta 39:311-318. A collision theory treatment for the adsorption of virus by host bacteria has been combinded with an extension of the Smoluchowski diffusion limited coagulation equation. From these considerations, the conclusion that the collision efficiency may approach unity is not found warranted. The effects of various types of mixing on the adsorption rate constant are discussed. Under conditions of diffusion limitation the effects of Brownian motion and sedimentation in the earth's gravitational field are considered and shown to be small though significant. More vigorous mixing is produced by laboratory aeration procedures and results in an increase in the diffusion limited rate. [TOP OF PAGE]
