Abstract
Evidence for true lysogenesis in B. megatherium, strain 1, with Megatherium phage p 16 B has been accumulated. Cytochemical and chemical data were obtained to clarify this point. Glucose, added to the normal medium, rendered virus-resistant, lysogenic cells susceptible to the virus with which they were originally infected. Such cells showed a decrease in desoxyribonucleic acid after exposure to glucose. Glucose did not prevent lysis of susceptible cells exposed to virus.
