Abstract excerpt
We have studied the growth properties of some Mu lysogens with respect to the non-lysogenic strain and have observed that the division time in minimal medium was increased over 4-fold when the bacteria carried the prophage mutated in the gem gene (Mu gem3). Since this phage gene has previously been shown to be involved in modulation of expression of host genes, we have analysed the proteins extracted from...
