From: Effective inhibition of lytic development of bacteriophages λ, P1 and T4 by starvation of their host, Escherichia coli

Figure 3

Development of bacteriophage T4 (strain T4D) in E. coli MG1655 host growing in a chemostat under standard conditions (panel A), or when carbon source starvation was initiated at the time indicated by arrow (3.5 h after infection at m.o.i. = 0.01) (panel B). Numbers of living bacterial cells (colony forming units) and phages (plaque forming units) are presented (open triangles and closed squares, respectively).
