Abstract excerpt
Lysis inhibition is a mechanism of latent-period extension and burst-size increase that is induced by the T4 bacteriophage adsorption of T4-infected cells. Mutants of T4 genes imm, sp and 5 (specifically the ts1 mutant of 5) display some lysis inhibition. However, these mutants experience lysis-inhibition collapse, the lysis of lysis-inhibited cells, earlier than wild-type-infected cells (i.e. their collapse...
