Abstract

Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus 109 inhibited the induced synthesis of β-galactosidase of host E. coli bacteria. RNA synthesis of the host was inhibited 3 min after infection; this was followed by the inhibition of protein synthesis 5-6 min later. The halt in RNA synthesis also occurred in host-parasite mixtures where penetration of the parasite was blocked by streptomycin.
