DNA Homology, Redundancy and Genome Size of Four Rhizobium Bacteriophages

G. J. Atkins and R. J. Avery

Department of Biological Sciences, University of Warwick, Coventry, CV4 7AL, Warwickshire

Rapidly reannealing DNA, containing repeated base sequences, was shown to be present in the genomes of four Rhizobium bacteriophages by studies of renaturation kinetics. Estimations of the mol. wt. of the DNA by measurement of kinetic complexity gave values of 1.3 x 108 for phage c, 1.6 x 108 for phage I, 9.4 x 107 for phage e and 8.2 x 107 for phage a. Comparison of the phage DNAs by annealing studies confirmed the classification of the phages into two groups.
