PHENOTYPIC REPAIR OF RNA-BACTERIOPHAGE MUTANTS BY STREPTOMYCIN.

A class of host-dependent mutants of RNA-phage f2 are dependent on streptomycin for growth in certain bacterial hosts. Maximum response to streptomycin occurred late in the growth cycle of phage, indicating phenotypic "repair" of a late phage function.

A bacteriophage specific for F- Salmonella strains.

A bacteriophage is described which grows on recipient (F-) and not on donor ( Hfr, F+, or F') salmonella. The reason for this differential is unknown, since the phage attaches to all mating types, but progeny ensue only from female bacteria. Purification of this phage has been accomplished. A procedure is described for quantitatively determining either the acquisition or loss of the F agent by bacteria.

Sexuality and mating in salmonella.

Another criterion for the presence of the agent (F) promoting genetic exchange in Escherichia coli was found. It involves a staining reaction of Hfr and F+ coli, but not F- coli, when mixed with strains of Salmonella typhimurium. This reaction was used as a guide in following the transfer of the F agent to Salmonella and back to E. coli. The F agent in Salmonella seems to promote the same kinds of events that it promotes in E. coli.
