Further Electron Microscopic Studies on the Infection Process of the Lipid-containing Bacteriophage ϕ6 Free

Abstract

SUMMARY

ϕ6 attachment to host pili was confirmed by scanning electron microscopy. With plasmolysed infected cells it could be shown that membrane fusion takes place at the adhesion site. Freeze-etched preparations showed that when the membraneous bulge (caused by the infecting particle) was removed the cytoplasmic membrane at that site was also removed.
