F agent

Small areas Ventilate to remove vapor. Because the boiling point of some cyanide agents is near normal room temperature (70°F), agent vapors may condense on cooler surfaces and pose a percutaneous hazard. Liquids can then revolatilize when the temperature rises. If deemed necessary, wash the area with copious amounts of soap and water. Collect and place the rinseate and place in containers lined with high-density polyethylene. 

When an Hfr strain conjugates with an F (female), replication of the entire male chromosome commences at some point near the end of the integrated F agent, and genes of the bacterial chromosome followed by those of the F factor are transferred into the female. Only a single strand of DNA (customarily referred to as the plus strand) is transferred from the donor cell and into the recipient cell (Fig. 26-3). There the complementary minus strand is synthesized to form a complete double-stranded DNA molecule bearing the genes from the Hfr cell. Only rarely does a copy of the entire chromosome of the donor cell enter the female cell. More often the DNA strand, or perhaps the pilus itself, breaks and only part of the chromosome is transferred. 

One result of DNA transfer from Hfr into F bacteria is sometimes the introduction of a complete copy of the F agent into the female bacterium. Since this con-... 

Figure 26-3 Integration of an F agent into a bacterial chromosome and transfer of some bacterial genes into another cell. (A) Incorporation of the F agent into E. coli genome and transfer of the "plus" strand of DNA out to a female recipient cell. (B) Genetic recombination between a piece of transferred DNA and the genome of the recipient cell.

Two LICs destroy liquid agent. Figure A-8 shows the Lie configuration. The primary chamber, a vertical refractory-lined cylinder with a natural gas burner, operates at 2,700°F. Agent is atomized as it is injected into the air stream going into the burner. As the agent bums.

F. Agent Survival There is potential for delayed generation of secondary aerosols from previously contaminated surfaces. To a lesser extent, particles may adhere to individuals (skin or clothing) creating additional, but less significant, exposure hazards. 

Porous silicon is luminescent, and the above reaction results in changes in the emission spectrum of the porous silicon and provides a method of detecting the R2P(0)F agent. 

E. coli F agent contains the genes needed to direct the synthesis of the F pili (sex pili). These tiny appendages, 8.5 nm in diameter (see Fig. 7-9), grow out quickly during a period of 4-5 min to a length of about...
