Abstract
Continuous culture of coli K12 [lambda] or coli P22 in the presence of triethylene melamine results in the appearance of very high concentrations of [lambda] phage. Two or three days later a new virus (PTEM) appears which infects the parent culture itself and changes it to a lysogenic culture producing the PTEM, instead of [lambda].
