Abstract

Pristionchus lheriteiri (Maupas) Paramonov, a saprozoic nematode, served as a carrier of an unnamed phage of Agrobacterium tume]aciens (Smith and Townsend) Conn. Viable phage particles passed through the nematode, caused lysis and formed typical plaques on agar plates seeded to A. tumefaciens. Phage retention by carrier nematodes was extended several hr by restricting food intake. Female nematodes accumulated phage in greater quantities and more rapidly than male nematodes.
