[Cellular study of a lysogenic Desulfovibrio desulfuricans culture after mitomycin C induction]

Ultrathin sections through the cells of Desulfovibrio desulfuricans, strain B, were examined using electron microscopy after inducing the formation of phages with mitomycin C at a concentration of 4 micrograms/ml. Changes were found in the size of the cells, their cell wall and nucleoids. The cells contained phage particles of different maturity. The electron microscopic study of the induced phage has shown that it does not differ in morphology from the phage of this culture discovered by us earlier.
