[Interaction of RNA-containing bacteriophages with the host cells: MS2-induced E. coli mutants and formation of DNA-containing derivatives of MS2 bacteriophage].

Abstract excerpt

Sensitive cells of Escherichia coli AB 259 Hfr 3000 infected with RNA-containing phage MS2 produce phage particles and continue to divide showing segregation of sensitive cells maintaining new infection cycles. Phage multiplication in sensitive cells gives rise to phage resistant forms in their progeny. The described phenomenon has been shown to be due not to pre-existing phage-resistant cell selection but is a...
