title: THE REVERSIBLE INACTIVATION OF BACTERIOPHAGE BY BICHLORIDE OF MERCURY.
abstract: 1. The complete inactivation of antistaphylococcal phage by HgCl(2) (2.8 per cent for 216 hours) can be reversed by precipitation of Hg(++) with restoration of the phage to its original titre. 2. This behavior seems more compatible with the known properties of certain enzymes than with those of living protoplasm.
