“…Transfer of the genomes of phages lacking a contractile tail sheath from the phage head to the host cytoplasm has been reported (Roessner et al, 1983;Filali Maltouf & Lebedan, 1983;Letellier & Labedan, 1985;Sabelnikov, 1989) to be independent of membrane potential (Mitchell, 1976). The synthesis of one or more proteins in the newly infected cells has been demonstrated to be required for infection by phage T5 (Lanni, 1965).…”

The process of genome DNA injection, after adsorption, by phage PL-1 into host cells of Lactobacillus casei was monitored by using the electron microscope. Injection of DNA was inhibited by the protein-synthesis inhibitors chloramphenicol and erythromycin at concentrations where the colony-forming ability of cells not infected by phage was unaffected. The results suggest that protein synthesis may be involved in some way in the process of genome injection.
