Abstract
A culture of Clostridium perfringens strain 80 in cooked meat broth contained three types of cell: normal, long, and small round cells. The process of phage maturation and cell lysis was studied in all three forms using the electron microscope. In normal cells, the nucleoplasm first enlarged, then small clear areas, slightly larger than intracellular phages, appeared mainly around the cell periphery. The nucleoplasm dispersed and mature phage particles were formed. Subsequent lysis was caused by the breaking off of portions of the cell envelope leaving holes for the release of the contents. Long cells were also able to support phage growth.
