“…Prophage appears to evolve, upon 1ysogenization, from the DNA of the infective phage particle. Some workers believe ~hat there is an initial repli cation of phage before lysogeny oceurs (Stent and Fuerst, 1956;Jacob, Fuerst and Wollman, 1957;Whitfield, 1962;Uetake et al, 1963), whi1e othersdo not believe that free multiplication is possible and that the phage genetic materia1 is taken up into the host nuc1ear materia1 in a very short time (Boyd and Bidwe11, 1964). The incorporation of the phage genome may take place by genetie reeombination or by copy choice with no materia1 change between parental strains and their recombinants.…”

A temperate bacteriophage was isolated from a lysogenic strain of Clostridium perfringens. This lysogenic strain was inducible by ultraviolet light. Plaques produced on solid medium were small with turbid centers. Electron microscopy revealed that the phage has a polyhedral head, 80 × 70 mμ, and a striated tail, 200 mμ long.One-step growth experiments revealed latent and release periods of 45 minutes each. Phage yields were variable but, in general, quite low. The adsorption rate and temperature and pH stability of the phage were determined.The diphenylamine reaction and acridine orange staining suggested that the phage nucleic acid is deoxyribonucleic acid.
