| Abstract: | The phage mutant λ nult16, which is defective in DNA packaging, defines a new λ gene, nu1. This has been shown by its ability to complement and be complemented by λ mutants defective in all of the other morphogenetic genes. The nult 16 mutation is a 1.28-kb DNA insertion located to the left of gene A, the leftmost known cistron on the λ map. Nul is homologous in function to gene 1, the leftmost gene on the map of the λ-related phage φ80. |
