Bacteriophage Formation without Bacterial Growth
1. The addition of penicillin greatly increases the production of phage in bacterial suspensions containing 2.5 to 3.5 x 10(8) cells in 0.4 ml. broth plus 6.6 ml. Locke's solution. 2. Addition of niacin also greatly increases the formation of phage in the above system without the addition of penicillin. 3. The results indicate that niacin is necessary for phage production and that bacteria cann...
متن کاملRevealing bacterial targets of growth inhibitors encoded by bacteriophage T7.
Today's arsenal of antibiotics is ineffective against some emerging strains of antibiotic-resistant pathogens. Novel inhibitors of bacterial growth therefore need to be found. The target of such bacterial-growth inhibitors must be identified, and one way to achieve this is by locating mutations that suppress their inhibitory effect. Here, we identified five growth inhibitors encoded by T7 bacte...
متن کاملBacteriophage control of bacterial virulence.
In 1930, Felix d’Herelle wrote “. . .the actions and reactions are not solely between these two beings, man and bacterium, for the bacteriophage also intervenes; a third living being and, hence, a third variable is introduced” (19). The contribution of bacteriophages to the pathogenicity of their bacterial hosts began to be uncovered as early as 1927, when Frobisher and Brown discovered that no...
متن کاملBacteriophage genes and bacterial functions.
This brief survey of bacteriophage infection has provided support for an obvious but important generalization: that the study of virus infection at the cellular level is a branch of cellular genetics. The interactions between viral and cellular functions show that infection with a virus is not just a disrupting intrusion; it is an addition to the cellular endowment of genetic specificity. The o...
متن کاملThe Growth of Bacteriophage
1. An anti-Escherichia coli phage has been isolated and its behavior studied. 2. A plaque counting method for this phage is described, and shown to give a number of plaques which is proportional to the phage concentration. The number of plaques is shown to be independent of agar concentration, temperature of plate incubation, and concentration of the suspension of plating bacteria. 3. The effic...
