Patterns of transcription in bacteriophage P22-infected Salmonella typhimurium.

Two peaks of RNA synthesis (early and late) are directed by bacteriophage P22 in lytic infections of Salmonella typhimurium. Late RNA synthesis is not seen in P22 23- infections; neither early nor late RNA synthesis occurs in P22 24- infections. Genes 23 and 24 of P22 appear to be analogous to genes Q and N of lambda, respectively.
