Excision of lambda prophage: Effects on host survival
Abstract
Induction with ultraviolet light of K12 lysogens carrying defective prophages leads to death of the host cell. In order to determine whether the killing accompanying induction was due to diffusible phage products, or was a result of prophage excision itself, the survival of lysogens carrying DNA defective prophages on an extra chromosomal site (the F-gal episome), were examined. Induction of prophages, carrying mutations in the x region, or the …
