Abstract excerpt

Bacteriophage Mu mutants in gene gem (Mu gemts2) induce cycles of synchronous divisions after infection of a bacterial population in steady-state conditions. In this paper, two classes of gyrB mutants, synchronizable and non-synchronizable, are described. The existence of the non-synchronizable c...
