title: Electron microscopic study of phages and aberrant structures produced by induction of prophage kappa in Vibrio cholerae el tor cells.
abstract: Prophage kappa in V. cholerae el tor strain SLH22(J) could be induced spontaneously or by treatment with nitrofurantoin, though the efficiency of induction was very low (not more than 0.8%). V. cholerae el tor cells were found to release many different aberrant structures of the temperate phage, kappa. These aberrant structures were characterized by density gradient centrifugation and electron microscopy.
