Abstract
1. In S. anatum of subgroup E1 of Salmonella E group occurs antigenic transformation when it is infected with lysogenic phage of S. newington of subgroup E2. At the same time, in some of its cells the transduction of nutritional requirement, streptomycin resistance or maltose fermentation from E2 is observed. In this case, only one factor can be transduced into one cell. 2. The cell into which is transduced one of the genetic properties can maintain this even when it loses its phage by the action of anti-phage antibody and thus has its antigen transformed. Consequently it is considered, as reported by Zinder and Lederberg, that the phage plays only the rôle of carrier of filtrable agent in the transduction.Keywords
