The genomic DNA of mycobacteriophage I3 harbours single-strand interruptions and is susceptible to degradation by nuclease S1, leading to random fragmentation. The native DNA serves as an efficient template for DNA polymerase I showing the presence of free 3'-OH termini which provide the priming points within the genome. The single-strand regions show no specificity for the 5'-end nucleotides flanking these interruptions and all 4 nucleotides are present with a probability equivalent to their percentage in the total DNA. The single-strand interruptions are an intrinsic character of this genome and are present irrespective of the host on which the phage is propagated.
