Abstract
Autotrophically grown infected cells are able to replicate phage SH-133 after being switched to a heterotrophic environment (step-up growth). The effect of step-down growth on phage replication varies with the choice of organic substrate. Phage replication and the induction of cellular hydrogenase occur under step-down growth from acetate but not peptone broth. The requirement of a continued source of energy for phage replication in either heterotrophically or autotrophically grown cells could be uniquely demonstrated in this phage-host system by the deletion of hydrogen from the growth medium.
