Induktion von Tumoren und Produktion des Phagen PS8 durch Agrobacterium

The ability of Agrobacterium to induce tumors and to produce phage PS8

  • Published:
Planta Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

Twenty strains of the genus Agrobacterium do not show any correlation between tumor-initiating ability and the ability to produce the bacteriophage PS8. Only some virulent strains produce the phage at temperatures permissive and non-permissive for tumor induction.
