Abstract

The DNA-conlaining phages neutralizing with anti-MS2 serum have been detected in MS2-induced bacterial, cultures, in the cells containing the recombinant plasmid as well as in preparations of transducing lambda and PI phages. The identity of all these new developed bacteriophages permits to suppose the common mechanism of their origin.
