Abstract

BACTERIAL virus (phage), in its symbiotic phase (prophage), renders the host bacterium lysogenic, and confers on it immunity against lysis by free phage particles of the homologous type, whether temperate or virulent in character. Hyper-virulent mutants, which are rare, may be exceptions to this rule.
