Summary
The changes induced by bacteriophage P22 in the cellular transport process(es) of the host Salmonella typhimurium (Taneja et al., 1975; Khandekar et al., 1975; Bandyopadhyay and Chakravorty, 1976) involve interactions between the superinfection exclusion system of the resident prophage and the C immunity region of the superinfecting phage. The sieA gene of the prophage interferes with the changes in the cellular transport process induced by the superinfecting phage. However, if the superinfecting phage carries active C 1 and C 2 genes of the superinfecting phage seem to be expressed in the sie A+ lysogen.
