T-Even Bacteriophage-Tolerant Mutants of Escherichia coli B III. Nature of the tet Defect

Martinez J Hewlett 1, Christopher K Mathews 1
PMCID: PMC355072  PMID: 4567684

Abstract

T-even phage-tolerant (tet) mutants of Escherichia coli B are shown to lack the enzyme uridine diphosphoglucose pyrophosphorylase and thus produce nonglucosylated progeny phage deoxyribonucleic acid.
