Bacteriophage Lysozyme Synthesis in Escherichia coli K-12(λ) Infected with rII Mutant of Bacteriophage T4

Kai-Keung Mark 1
PMCID: PMC356333  PMID: 4552555

Abstract

When Escherichia coli K-12(λ) was infected with a T4rII bacteriophage, synthesis of lysozyme appeared at the normal time but stopped 15 min after infection. The lysozyme produced was 1% of the normal level.
