DNA of Agrobacterium tumefaciens bacteriophage PS8 was isolated by using several procedures. Whole phage and phage DNA were tested for tumor-inducing ability on 10 species of plants with various additions to assist such activity. The reported tumorigenicity of phage PS8 DNA could not be confirmed, and no evidence to implicate phage PS8 involvement in tumor initiation was obtained.
通过多种方法分离了根癌土壤杆菌噬菌体PS8的DNA。对完整噬菌体和噬菌体DNA在10种植物上进行了致瘤能力测试，并添加了各种物质以辅助这种活性。噬菌体PS8 DNA的致瘤性无法得到证实，也没有获得噬菌体PS8参与肿瘤起始的证据。
