Five bacteriophages have been isolated for phage typing of Vibrio cholerae biotype El Tor. The morphology of these phages has been studied by electron microscopy.
Osmotic shock was applied to phage T2 in such a manner that the compact-mass of DNA was released from phage. The shape of this compact-mass of DNA was studied under electron microscope. It appeared that the DNA was packed into an elongated icosahedron similar to the phage head.
Chromatin of chicken erythrocyte nuclei was extracted by digestion with micrococcal nuclease. The length distribution of the soluble chromatin was determined by gel electrophoresis and electron microscopy. These results were fitted with a theoretical distribution which was an outcome of the domain model proposed by Igo-Kemenes and Zachau (Igo-Kemenes, T. and H.G. Zachau (1977) Cold Spring Harbour Symp. Quant. Biol. 42, 109-118). A domain length of 45 kbp was obtained.
