Host-virus interactions in Escherichia coli: effect of stationary phase on viral release from MS2-infected bacteria.
Infection of stationary-phase Escherichia coli with MS2 bacteriophage results in the production, but not the release, of progeny virus by the host. Substantial protein synthesis in stationary-phase cells indicates that general protein synthesis is not sufficient to assure cell lysis or viral release.
