Abstract
Eklund, Curtis (The University of Texas, Austin) and Orville Wyss. Enzyme associated with bacteriophage infection. J. Bacteriol. 84:1209–1215. 1962.—A capsule-digesting enzyme was formed when azotobacter cells were infected with bacteriophage. The enzyme appeared in the medium when the phages lysed the cells. By disrupting phage-infected cells prematurely, it was shown that enzyme formation in the bacterium began shortly after invasion. The amount of enzyme formed was far in excess of that incorporated into the new phages. The enzyme was concentrated from the lysate, and its activity was measured under a variety of conditions.
