The Thermal Lability of Tryptophan-dependent Bacteriophages

摘要: SUMMARY: Bacteriophages which are tryptophan-dependent for adsorption also sometimes heat-labile in the presence of added tryptophan. The inactivation is due to dis- charge phage deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). This phenomenon most marked at two different monovalent ion concentrations and thought be produc- tion lesions sites on tail.
