Abstract excerpt
L1 is a lysogenic phage of mycobacteria, which along with L5 and D29 constitute a closely linked family of homoimmune mycobacteriophages. These phages can be potentially used for genetic engineering of mycobacteria and diagnosis of mycobacterial infection. The effectiveness of such phage based systems depends on the efficiency with which they infect and grow within target cells. While working with phage L1c1ts...
