Endolysin Regulation in Phage Mu Lysis
ABSTRACT Bacteriophage Mu is a paradigm coliphage studied mainly because of its use of transposition for genome replication.However, in extensive nonsense mutant screens, only one lysis gene has been identified, the endolysin gp22.This is surprising because in Gram-negative hosts, lysis by Caudovirales phages has been shown to require proteins whic
