Abstract

IN a previous communication Shiba et al.1 presented evidence that synthesis of deoxyribonucleic acid in Escherichia coli B was completely inhibited in the presence of mitomycin C, while ribonucleic acid and protein formation were unaffected as compared with that of a culture not exposed to the antibiotic. This communication shows that the impaired synthesis of deoxyribonucleic acid in cells treated with mitomycin C can be promptly restored by infection with bacteriophage T2r.
