Abstract
Phage release as a function of time in the one-step growth experiment is a close approximation to the integral of a normal frequency distribution. This suggests that the frequencies of bacterial lysis are normally distributed about a mean latent period. The use of the probit method to plot the data of the one-step growth experiment furnishes a sensitive method for studying nonrandom heterogeneity in a population of phage infected bacteria. Several examples of such nonrandom heterogeneity are presented and discussed.
