Abstract
The DNA of bacteriophage 9NA, a virulent phage of Salmonella typhimuri um, is linear, double stranded, circularly permuted and is approximate ly 56 kilobase pairs long. The 9NA genome is partially methylated. A p hysical map of the DNA has been constructed using the restriction endo nucleases BamHI, BglII, SmaI and PvuII. The putative packaging end ('p ac' end) and the direction of packaging of the concatemeric DNA has be en postulated.
