The authors describe the mitomycin induction of bacteriophages in strains No. 4/2, 98, and 345 of Cl. botulinum, type A. All the strains under study produced phages of the same morphology with a head and a process capable of contraction. The phages detected by electron microscopy failed to express any lytic activity on the strains of type A and other Cl. botulinum types neither in the fluid nor in the hard nutrient media. The data obtained supplemented and widened the view on the incidence of phage carrier state in the cultures of botulism causative agent.
作者描述了丝裂霉素在A型肉毒梭菌4/2、98和345号菌株中诱导噬菌体的情况。所有研究的菌株都产生了形态相同的噬菌体，有一个头部和一个能够收缩的突起。通过电子显微镜检测到的噬菌体在液体和固体营养培养基中对A型菌株及其他肉毒梭菌类型的菌株均未表现出任何裂解活性。所获得的数据补充并拓宽了对肉毒中毒病原体培养物中噬菌体携带状态发生率的认识。
