Description:

Geneticist George Streisinger was a noted expert on the bacterial virus (phage) T4. In this letter, Kornberg asked him if there might be a mutant strain of T4 suitable for studying DNA synthesis in infected E. coli cells, noting that regular T4 produced so much lysozyme that the host cells were too fragile to harvest.
