Abstract excerpt
The defective prophage of Bacillus subtilis 168, PBSX, is a chromosomally based element which encodes a non-infectious phage-like particle with bactericidal activity. PBSX is induced by agents which elicit the SOS response. In a PBSX thermoinducible strain which carries the xhi1479 mutation, PBSX...
