MATERIALS CONCERNING THE BIOLOGY OF THE PSEUDOTUBERCULOSIS BACTERIOPHAGE

Abstract

The data shows that the plague and pseudotuberculosis bacteriophages are quite different from each other serologically and make up independent serological groups. A single cycle of multiplication of the pseudotuberculosis phages of Kotlyarovaya and D'Erell was studied according to the method of Ellis and Delbruk (1939). The duration of the latent period for Kotlyarovaya phase turned out to be equal to 20 minutes, and for D'Erell phage -- 21 minutes. The average 'harvest' of phage particles for one infected bacterial cell comprised 92 for the Kotlyarovaya phage, and 82 for the D'Erell phage. Based on the duration of the latent period the test strains of the pseudotuberculosis bacteriophage hardly differed from the plague phages.
