Abstract excerpt
A mutant of Escherichia coli K-12 strain with the destroyed process of establishment of lysogenic state for phage Mu in the course of zygotic induction has been obtained. The mutation revealed, designated pfm (penetration factor for Mu), interferes with adsorption of phage Mu to the surface of E. coli K-12 cells. On the basis of data obtained, there is every reason to believe that the phage Mu DNA connection with...
