Abstract excerpt
Otherwise isogenic Escherichia coli CP78 (relA+) and CP79 (relA-) strains are commonly used in studies on the stringent control, the bacterial response to amino acid starvation. We found that these strains are lysogenic for a phage which is spontaneously induced with a low frequency, producing virions able to infect other E. coli strains. Genetic studies, restriction analysis of the phage DNA genome, and electron...
