Cell division and prophage induction in Escherichia coli: effects of pantoyl lactone and various furan derivatives

E P Kirby et al. J Bacteriol. 1972 Aug.

Abstract

Strain T-44 is a thermosensitive mutant of Escherichia coli in which both cell division and prophage repression are altered at elevated temperatures. The effects of various ribosides, pantoyl lactone, and the furfural derivatives nitrofurazone and 5-methyl furfural suggest that some low-molecular-weight compound is important in the control of cell division and prophage repression in this strain. This low-molecular-weight compound may have a five-membered oxygen-containing ring as part of its structure.
