The deoxyribonucleic acid of bacteriophages T2, T4, and T6 contains glucose linked to the hydroxymethyl groups of hydroxymethylcytosine. The work of Sinsheimer, Volkin, Jesaitis, and of Lichtenstein and Cohen (l-4) established the presence of glucosyl-hydroxymethylcytosine residues in the deoxyribonucleic acid and indicated that there is a characteristic glucose to hydroxymethylcytosine ratio f...

Bacteriol. 88:937-945. 1964.-Deuterated N(15)-labeled deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) from Acetobacter aceti (mesoxydans 4) forms hybrids with ordinary DNA from other species of this genus (A. xylinum, A. pasteurianus, A. estunensis, and possibly A. xylinoides) when the guanine ...
