Host-Virus Interactions in Escherichia coli: Effect of Stationary Phase on Viral Release from MS2-Infected Bacteria

C Propst Ricciuti 1,2
PMCID: PMC356441  PMID: 4557207

Abstract

Infection of stationary-phase Escherichia coli with MS2 bacteriophage results in the production, but not the release, of progeny virus by the host. Substantial protein synthesis in stationary-phase cells indicates that general protein synthesis is not sufficient to assure cell lysis or viral release.
