THE ACCELERATING EFFECT OF MANGANOUS IONS ON PHAGE ACTION

Dilute solutions of MnCl2 or MnSO4 accelerate the lytic effect of phage upon susceptible staphylococci. Under the conditions of our experiments the manganese-containing mixtures lysed regularly 0.5 hour sooner than the controls. The effect is shown to be due to a lowering of the lytic threshold, i....
