Abstract

The several types of lipid-containing bacteriophages that have been described so far do not constitute a natural grouping. They differ from each other in many ways including host range, nucleic acid type, mode of attachment to host cells, and location of the lipid in the virion. It is, however, useful to discuss them together since they are likely to prove of immense value in the elucidation of lipid-protein interactions and the biogenesis of structures containing lipid. The anticipated advantages of these viruses for the study of “membrane biology” are to be found in their rather simple and probably stoichiometric composition with respect to proteins and nucleic acids, which is characteristic of almost all viruses, as well as the ease of preparing large amounts of virus material for structural work and the possibility of isolating conditional-lethal mutants that will facilitate the investigation of the morphogenetic pathways employed by these viruses.
