Induction of bacteriocins from Clostridium perfringens by treatment with mitomycin C.
Six of ten bacteriocinogenic strains of Clostridium perfringens were inducible by treating the cultures with mitomycin C. Induction did not occur in the continued presence of mitomycin C but only when excess mitomycin C was removed. Cell death was associated with induction of bacteriocin.
