Abstract
Following exposure to dilute aqueous solutions of mustard gas, suspensions of E. coli B do not produce DNA although PNA is formed in nearly normal amounts. When the treated cells are infected with virus T2, DNA is synthesized and RNA is not. The DNA formation continued after the virus titer reached a maximum.Keywords
