Chloramphenicol stimulation of lysogeny by lambda regulatory mutants.

R Kudrna, G Edlin
PMCID: PMC354618  PMID: 1095779

Abstract

Inhibition of protein synthesis in Escherichia coli by amino acid starvation or chloramphenicol addition increases the frequency of lysogeny by lambda phage two- to fourfold. Lambda cIII mutants, which normally lysogenize at very low frequencies, lysogenize at very high frequencies in the presence of chloramphenicol.
