Host range mutants of bacteriophage Ox2 can use two different outer membrane proteins of Escherichia coli K-12 as receptors.

The Escherichia coli K-12 outer membrane protein OmpA functions as the receptor for bacteriophage Ox2. We isolated a host range mutant of this phage which was able to grow on an Ox2-resistant ompA mutant producing an altered OmpA protein. From this mutant, Ox2h5, a second-step host range mutant was...
