Isolation of an Escherichia coli strain restricting bacteriophage suppressor

  • Published:
Molecular and General Genetics MGG Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

A bacterial mutant is described which restricts bacteriophage amber suppressor psu +. Restriction, probably, operates at a translational level. The new strain provides the system of identification of bacteriophage amber mutants suppressed by psu + using suppressornegative (su -) bacterial strains.
