TRANSDUCTION ON SUGAR-FERMENTATION OF BACTERIA BY THE PHAGES WHICH CONTROL SALMONELLA O[I] ANTIGEN

Abstract

We described that the phages which control Salmonella O[I] antigen have transduced the sugar-fermentative ability to strains lacking that factor (chiefly, dulcitol-fermentative factor at this experiment). We also showed some experiments on the different types of transduction and discussed on its mechanism.
