Abstract
The ability of Pseudomonas reptilivora to produce three broad-spectrum antimicrobial substances is easily lost when bacteria are subcultured. The study of the antibiotic production under defined culture conditions has shown that the biosynthesis of these substances depends upon the presence of a temperature-sensitive temperate phage. Antibiotic production is lost after phage induction.Keywords
