The results were compared with the synthesis of these enzymes in uninfected cells. Following infection, the formation of all three enzymes was halted. Supplementation of the medium with casein hydrolysate and tryptophan or with 0·0lm-Mg++ + 10−3 m-spermine did not prevent the inhibition caused by bacteriophage infection., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/micro/10.1099/00221287-25-2-307
