Escherichia coli mutants have been isolated that are permissive for the infection by T4 phage with deletion in the cistron for the phage lysozyme, the e gene. Some, but not all, of these mutants are simultaneously permissive for the infection by T4 phage defective in the t gene, the product of which has also been implicated in the release of progeny phages. Most of these mutants shared the following properties: temperature sensitivity in growth and cell division, increased sensitivity towards a number of unrelated antibiotics and colicins, and increased sensitivity towards anionic detergents (sodium dodecyl sulfate and sodium deoxycholate). The possible biochemical basis for these phenotypes is discussed.
已经分离出大肠杆菌突变体,这些突变体允许T4噬菌体感染,该噬菌体在噬菌体溶菌酶的顺反子(即e基因)中存在缺失。其中一些(但不是全部)突变体同时允许t基因缺陷的T4噬菌体感染,t基因的产物也与子代噬菌体的释放有关。这些突变体中的大多数具有以下共同特性:生长和细胞分裂中的温度敏感性、对多种不相关抗生素和大肠杆菌素的敏感性增加,以及对阴离子去污剂(十二烷基硫酸钠和脱氧胆酸钠)的敏感性增加。文中讨论了这些表型可能的生化基础。
