ABSTRACT
Fast-sedimenting forms of bacteriophage phiX174 double-stranded replicative-form DNA observed in normal infections continued to accumulate at the nonpermissive temperature in a temperature-sensitive dnaC mutant of Escherichia coli. These complex molecules accounted for up to half of the DNA synthesized during short pulses at the nonpermissive temperature. They were the dead-end products of DNA synthesis, not intermediates in normal replicative-form replication. The data suggest that these higher-than-normal-molecular-weight DNA molecules result from abnormal initiation of phiX174 replicative-form DNA replication.
