Abstract

Rutberg, Blanka (Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden), and Lars Rutberg. Role of superinfecting phage in lysis inhibition with phage T4 in Escherichia coli. J. Bacteriol. 90:891–894. 1965.—The ability of bacteriophage T4 to induce lysis inhibition upon superinfection was investigated after various treatments of the phage. This ability was found not to be a property of the external protein part of the phage, nor was it dependent on the functional and possibly structural integrity of the phage genetic material.
