Salmonella typhimurium mutants affecting establishment of lysogeny

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

Summary

Salmonella typhimurium mutants have been isolated in which phage P22 fails to establish lysogeny. These appear to be defective in cAMP metabolism. A phage mutation overcoming the bacterial defect has been mapped between gene c 1 and gene 12.
