摘要

The effect of male-specific filamentous deoxyribonucleic acid (f1) and isometric ribonucleic acid (MS2) bacteriophages on the formation of mating pairs in Escherichia coli conjugation was examined directly in the Coulter counter. When a sufficient multiplicity of infection (MOI) was used, the f1 phage immediately and completely inhibited the formation of mating pairs. On the other hand, the MS2 phage at a relatively high MOI also inhibited the formation of mating pairs significantly although not completey. The inhibitory effect of MS2 phage was dependent on the time of addition and the MOI used. At relatively low MOI (<20), the MS2 phage showed some inhibitory effect when added to a male culture prior to mixing with females, whereas no effect was observed when phages were added after mating pair formation had already commenced. At a high MOI (>400) MS2 phage disrupted the mating pairs already formed. Some preformed mating pairs were resistant to the high MOI of MS2 phages, however, and the “sensitive” (to high MOI) mating pairs seem to mature into “resistant” mating pairs as a function of time. We conclude that the tip of an F pilus is the specific attachment site for mating. The following process of mating pair formation has been formulated by deduction. (i) The sides of F pili weakly contact female cells, (ii) then the tips of F pili attach to the specific receptor sites to form initial mating pairs, and (iii) those pairs mature into mating pairs that are resistant to the high MOI of MS2 phages. The high MOI of MS2 prevents the first step, whereas f1 phages affect the second step—the binding between the tips of F pili and the receptor sites.
