RESUMO
Bacteriophage Psp231a infects Pseudomonas phaseolicola, strain HB10Y, which is the host cell for the enveloped bacteriophage phi 6. This paper describes the biophysical characteristics of Psp231a and the physical properties of its nucleic acid. In electron micrographs the virion appears as an icosahedral structure, approximately 55 nm in diameter, with a short tail. The virion density is 1.48 g/cm3 in CsCl, and the sedimentation coefficient is approximately 407S. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis revealed the presence of 12 polypeptides ranging in molecular weight from 5,000 to 117,000. The nucleic acid of Psp231a is linear, double-stranded DNA of molecular weight 28 X 10(6). Its density in CsCl is 1.716 g/cm3, and its sedimentation coefficient in 3 M CsCl is 20.0S, corresponding to an S020,W of 34S.
