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.
