Lysis of Bacillus subtilis by bacteriophage SP82 in the absence of DNA synthesis

摘要: Abstract Normal levels of lytic activity are elicited by SP82 infection Bacillus subtilis even in the absence detectable DNA synthesis. This is contrary to regulatory patterns lysozymes that known be phage specific, but consistent with hypothesis enzyme host specific. not, however, sufficient for lysis infection. An additional function required, whose can prevented an mutation blocks A described which renders this unnecessary. The strain carrying lysed
