Separation of T-even Bacteriophage Deoxyribonucleic Acid from Host Deoxyribonucleic Acid by Hydroxyapatite Chromatography

AUTOR(ES)
RESUMO

A simple and rapid method is described for separation of T-even bacteriophage deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) from host (Escherichia coli) DNA by hydroxyapatite column chromatography with a shallow gradient of phosphate buffer at neutral pH. By this method, bacteriophage T2, T4, and T6 DNA (but not T5, T7, or λ DNA) could be separated from host E. coli DNA. It was found that glucosylation of the T-even phage DNA is an important factor in separation.
