A review of data on defective phages of bacilli is presented. The genetics and morphology of this group of phages, the peculiarities of their induction, and data of sequence analysis of the segment of the bacterial chromosome in which the phage genome is localized are considered. It is concluded that the genome of defective phages should probably be considered a part of the bacterial chromosome rather than the genome of a parasite virus of the bacteria.
本文对杆菌缺陷噬菌体的数据进行了综述。考虑了这组噬菌体的遗传学和形态学、它们诱导的特点,以及噬菌体基因组所在的细菌染色体片段的序列分析数据。得出的结论是,缺陷噬菌体的基因组或许应被视为细菌染色体的一部分,而非细菌寄生病毒的基因组。
