Production of Tubules and Bacteriophage-like Particles in Mycobacteria After Bacitracin Treatment

Manuel Rieber 1, Tamotsu Imaeda 1
PMCID: PMC284890  PMID: 5784228

Abstract

Bacitracin-treated mycobacteria liberated tubules and phagelike particles which had no biological activity against selected species. These structures may reflect a state of defective lysogeny.
