Abstract:
A new form of restriction alleviation is demonstrated for phage induced by ultraviolet light from dcm strains of Escherichia coli K-12. EcoRII restriction of the induced phage is alleviated, which is the first report of Type II restriction alleviation. Unlike previously reported restriction alleviation, the increase in phage-plating efficiency is not dependent upon irradiation of the plating host for its induction.
