Abstract
SP01 development was inhibited by nalidixic acid and novobiocin in the sensitive host Bacillus subtilis 168M. Inhibition by novobiocin was prevented by a Novr mutation in the cellular DNA gyrase gene. Nalidixic acid inhibition persisted in hosts carrying a Nalr gyrase, but could be overcome by phage mutation. We conclude that SP01 requires for its development subunit B of the host DNA gyrase, but replaces or modifies subunit A.
