Abstract
Inhibition of protein synthesis in Escherichia coli by amino acid starvation or chloramphenicol addition increases the frequency of lysogeny by lambda phage two- to fourfold. Lambda cIII mutants, which normally lysogenize at very low frequencies, lysogenize at very high frequencies in the presence of chloramphenicol.
