Cyanophage S-2L, which lyses some strains of unicellular cyanobacteria of the genusSynechococcus, has a polyhedral head 56 run in diameter and a flexible noncontractile tail 120 nm in length.In S-2L phage DNA, 2,6-diaminopurine is completely substituted for adenine. This base and the corresponding deoxyribonucleoside have been isolated from acid and enzymatic hydrolyzates of the phage DNA, respectively, and have been identified according to optical and chromatographic behavior. S-2L phage DNA is linear and double-stranded and has a molecular weight of 26 × 106to 28 × 106. The buoyant density of this DNA in CsCl is 1.731 g/cm3. 2,6-Diaminopurine stabilizes the secondary structure of phage DNA, i.e., the melting temperature of the latter (Tmis85.6° in 0.1×SSC) is 3.6° higher than that of the usual adenine-containing DNA of equivalent base composition.
