Abstract
Mutants of Caulobacter crescentus have been isolated that are resistant to DNA or RNA phage infection. A large proportion of these mutants simultaneously become non-motile as well as resistant to other phage infection. A pleiotropic mutation seems to affect the formation of the cellular structures for motility and DNA and RNA phage infection.Keywords
