Induction of the phage resistance in the progeny of an infected bacterial cell

T. P. Pererva

Using bacteriophages MS2, P17 and X-vir infecting Escherichia call AB 259 (Hfr 3000), E. coli MIT and E. coli C600 cells appropriately the author demonstrates that both RNA- and DMA-containing piiages induce the development of phase-resistant forms appearing with high frequency in the progeny of infected cells.
