Brenner, S., Stent, G. S. Bacteriophage growth in protoplasts of Bacillus megaterium. 

Certain strains of Escherichia coli can be stimulated by irradiation with a moderate dose of ultraviolet (UV) light to stop normal growth and start producing bacteriophages that eventually lyse the bacterium. Bacteria of these so-called lysogenic strains carry the DNA of the phage integrated into their own... 

Restriction endonuclease A deoxyribonuclease which cuts DNA at specific sequences which exhibit twofold symmetry about a point. Name derives from the fact that their presence in a bacterial cell prevents (restricts) the growth of many infecting bacteriophages. 

Reiter et al. (1964) showed that growth of S. aureus in raw, steamed, and pasteurized milk was inhibited by a lactic starter culture. When they neutralized the lactic acid as it was produced, inhibition of the staphylococcus was still evident. Jezeski et al. (1967) also observed that growth of S. aureus in steamed or sterile reconstituted nonfat dry milk was inhibited by an actively growing S. lactis culture. Enter-otoxin was detected in S. aureus-S. lactis mixed cultures when S. lactis was inactivated by bacteriophage but not when the lactic streptococcus grew normally. Further information on S. aureus has been summarized by Minor and Marth (1976).

Examples of the products that can be obtained through the processes include DNA vectors, such as plasmids, viruses, bacteriophages and cosmids synthetic genes transformed human viruses (e.g. the Epstein-Barr virus) transformed bacterial cells containing specific properties animal and plant cells and bacteria mAbs, tissue cells regulatory proteins such as human insulin, interferons and human growth hormones and transgenic plants and animals.
