Abstract
T5 phages, treated with oxidized spermine, adsorb to bacterial cells and inject their DNA along with oxidized spermine. The injected phage DNA does not replicate and does not give rise to a complementary RNA. On the other hand, bacterial DNA and the respective complementary RNA are synthesized after infection with treated phages. The findings have been interpreted by assuming the formation of a biologically inactive complex between phage DNA and oxidized spermine.
