SOME BIRTH-DEATH AND MUTATION MODELS FOR PHAGE REPRODUCTION,

Abstract

Several models for phage reproduction within a bacterium have recently been discussed by Steinberg and Stahi (1961), Gani (1962) and Ohlsen (1963); all are effectively birthdeath type processes, with the first of these considering a single type of phage mutation. A detailed description of the biological processes involved may be found in Adams (1959), Weidel (1959), Sanders (1961) and Smith (1961). Some general models extending that of Steinberg and Stahl in which mutation may take place from normal a phages to mutant phages A are considered in this study.
