T-even bacteriophage-tolerant mutants of Escherichia coli B. 3. Nature of the tet defect

Abstract

T-even phage-tolerant (tet) mutants of Escherichia coli B are shown to lack the enzyme uridine diphosphoglucose pyrophosphorylase and thus produce nonglucosylated progeny phage deoxyribonucleic acid.
