The inclusion of bacteriophagy or transmissible lysis of bacteria, frequently called the Twort-dHerelle phenomenon, in a discussion of filterable virus diseases may be opposed by certain workers. The fact, however, that d'Herelle believes the phenomenon to be a disease of bacteria produced by an autonomous, ultramicroscopic, corpuscular virus is sufficient reason for including a discussion of it in a book on filterable viruses. Many of the author's ideas are not in agreement with those of d'Herelle. Nevertheless, at the present time ample justification exists for considering bacteriophagy, particularly in view of the general remarks concerning filterable viruses in Chapter I.

University of Chicago Press, Chicago. "The phenomenon of a transmissible lytic principle (bacteriophage) has been reported by a few investigators as occurring in the plant field. This interesting but highly controversial subject has however been merely touched, and more work will have to be done before any definite conclusions can be drawn. Gerretsen and Sack, and Söhngen and Gryns report isolations of lytic principles from nodules, roots, and stems, but not from leaves of leguminous plants bearing nodules, the lytic principle being specific for the bacteria of the plants in question; also from garden and field soil, but not from heath or forest soil. Mallmann and Hemstreet report the recovery of an inhibitory substance from cabbage decayed by fluorescent organisms, but did not demonstrate lysis. Following their work, Coons and Kotila report the recovery of a lytic principle from rotted carrots, from soil, and from river water which in low dilutions inhibited growth and in higher dilutions lysed B. carotovorus, B. atrosepticus, and Bact. tumefaciens. They report loss of mobility, malformation, and agglutination as characteristics of cultures treated with the lytic principle, agglutination being the first evidence of change in the organisms. Kotila and Coons also report isolation of a lytic principle from B. atrosepticus which when placed on potato tubers prevents the rotting normally caused by this organism. They venture the suggestion that this principle is responsible for the rapid decline of B. atrosepticus in the soil." (p. 601). [TOP OF PAGE]
