[Lysogenic conversion of cholera vibrios]. 1980

As a result of ultraviolet irradiation and treatment with nitrosmethyl urea, mitomycin C, ascorbic acid and sarcolysin, the elimination of prophage from wild lysogenic Vibrio cholerae strains, biotype El Tor, has been achieved. The elimination of prophage was accompanied by a change in the biological properties of the vibrios, and some of these biological properties were found to be correlated with the lysogenization of Vibrio cholerae by the definite races of temperate phages. Only a few races of type II phages, whose genome was responsible for the serological characteristics of the strain, its sensitivity to cholera diagnostic phages and polymyxin, were capable of conversion.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008242 Lysogeny The phenomenon by which a temperate phage incorporates itself into the DNA of a bacterial host, establishing a kind of symbiotic relation between PROPHAGE and bacterium which results in the perpetuation of the prophage in all the descendants of the bacterium. Upon induction (VIRUS ACTIVATION) by various agents, such as ultraviolet radiation, the phage is released, which then becomes virulent and lyses the bacterium. Integration, Prophage,Prophage Integration,Integrations, Prophage,Prophage Integrations
D008558 Melphalan An alkylating nitrogen mustard that is used as an antineoplastic in the form of the levo isomer - MELPHALAN, the racemic mixture - MERPHALAN, and the dextro isomer - MEDPHALAN; toxic to bone marrow, but little vesicant action; potential carcinogen. Medphalan,Merphalan,Phenylalanine Mustard,Sarcolysine,Sarkolysin,4-(Bis(2-chloroethyl)amino)phenylalanine,Alkeran,L-PAM,Mustard, Phenylalanine
D008770 Methylnitrosourea A nitrosourea compound with alkylating, carcinogenic, and mutagenic properties. Nitrosomethylurea,N-Methyl-N-nitrosourea,NSC-23909,N Methyl N nitrosourea,NSC 23909,NSC23909
D008937 Mitomycins A group of methylazirinopyrroloindolediones obtained from certain Streptomyces strains. They are very toxic antibiotics used as ANTINEOPLASTIC AGENTS in some solid tumors. PORFIROMYCIN and MITOMYCIN are the most useful members of the group.
D001205 Ascorbic Acid A six carbon compound related to glucose. It is found naturally in citrus fruits and many vegetables. Ascorbic acid is an essential nutrient in human diets, and necessary to maintain connective tissue and bone. Its biologically active form, vitamin C, functions as a reducing agent and coenzyme in several metabolic pathways. Vitamin C is considered an antioxidant.

D013045 Species Specificity The restriction of a characteristic behavior, anatomical structure or physical system, such as immune response; metabolic response, or gene or gene variant to the members of one species. It refers to that property which differentiates one species from another but it is also used for phylogenetic levels higher or lower than the species.

D014466 Ultraviolet Rays That portion of the electromagnetic spectrum immediately below the visible range and extending into the x-ray frequencies. The longer wavelengths (near-UV or biotic or vital rays) are necessary for the endogenous synthesis of vitamin D and are also called antirachitic rays; the shorter, ionizing wavelengths (far-UV or abiotic or extravital rays) are viricidal, bactericidal, mutagenic, and carcinogenic and are used as disinfectants.
