Endolysins were detected in a sensitive strain ofAgrobacterium tumefaciens (B6) after infection with phage LV-1 and in the lysogenA. tumefaciens V-1 after induction with mitomycin C. A similar endolysin was found in mitomycin C-inducedA. tumefaciens C-58, which apparently harbors a defective prophage.
