Notes:
The growth of bacteriophage MB78, a virulent phage of Salmonella typhimurium is extremely sensitive to the chelating agent EDTA. Other chelating agents like EGTA, a specific chelator for Ca2+ and orthophenanthroline which chelates Zn2+ and Fe2+ have no effect. EDTA stops phage MB78 DNA synthesis while synthesis of host DNA and other Salmonella phage DNA are not affected in presence of such low concentrations of EDTA. The present report indicates that some early phage function(s) and most probably the phage DNA synthesis are sensitive to EDTA which is probably due to chelation of Mg2+.
