Abstract excerpt
Nonlysogenic Escherichia coli K cells exhibit a delay in lysis when infected by T4rII phage termed lysis inhibition (LIN). E. coli K cells expressing lambda rexB from either a prophage defective for rexA, or a multicopy plasmid supported T4rII infection, but prevented the establishment of LIN. In addition, E. coli null mutations in either the periplasmic "tail-specific protease" tsp, or the 10Sa RNA ssrA,...
