Nucleic Acid and Protein Synthesis During Thymineless Death in Lysogenic and Nonlysogenic Thymine Auxotrophs

Gerald Medoff a,1
PMCID: PMC247305  PMID: 4550676

Abstract

Thymine deprivation causes the non-phage-associated component of thymineless death in Escherichia coli 15T. Addition of thymine causes the phage-associated component to occur.
