Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Bacteriophage T4 is able to adjust its development to the growth parameters of the host cell. Here, we present evidence for production of two different subpopulations of phage particles, which differ in ability to infect starved cells of Escherichia coli. The ability of phage T4 to produce the fraction of virions unable to infect starved cells is linked to functions of rI and rIII, as well as rIIA, genes. This may represent the adaptation of phage T4 to persist in unfavorable environmental conditions. |
