Abstract

Bacteriophage phie shows a reduced efficiency of plating on strains of Bacillus subtilis which are lysogenic for the temperate bacteriophage SP02. Although this phenomenon resembles prophage-mediated restriction observed in other bacteria, host-controlled modification of phie was not observed. Mutants of phie which plated with high efficiency on the lysogenic host were isolated.
