Abstract excerpt
Lysogeny has previously been described in the entomopathogenic bacteria of the genus Xenorhabdus. Screening of a X. nematophila prophage DNA library on blood agar resulted in the identification of a 5.7-kb locus that caused a haemolytic phenotype when cloned in Escherichia coli, but not in the E. coli sheA null mutant, lacking the SheA cryptic haemolysin. This locus exhibited similarity to lysis genes from...
