Comparison of genomes of closely related phages phi 29, phi 15 and PZA using a rapid method of parallel physical
Abstract:
The DNAs of phages phi 29, phi 15 and PZA of Bacillus subtilis were analysed with restriction enzymes EcoRI, HpaI and HindIII. A method was used which permits parallel physical mapping of all three phages, from both ends of their linear genomes. The method is based on transfer of partially digested DNA to DBM paper and sequential hybridization with labelled terminal fragments. It follows from the comparison of the physical maps that phages phi 29, phi 15 and PZA are closely related and that they probably have arisen from a common ancestor by accumulation of point mutations.

Methods of Sterilization I: Physical Methods
Steam sterilization uses non-toxic, low-cost moist heat in the form of saturated steam under pressure, which is fast, microbicidal, and sporicidal, and quickly warms and penetrates fabrics. Autoclaves, or steam sterilizers, expose each item to direct steam contact for a predetermined time at the necessary...

While fluorine-19 and phosphorous-31 have high natural abundances (100%) and positive gyromagnetic ratios, nitrogen-15 has a low natural abundance and a negative gyromagnetic ratio. However, nitrogen-15 is still preferred over nitrogen-14 (which has a...
