Wild-type and minute mutants of the T4 strain of bacteriophages were treated with 1.0-12.0 ug per ml concentrations of aminoacridine. Escherichia coli was the host organism for the bacteriophages.Concentrations of acridine less than 2.0 ug per ml had no noticeable effect on wild-type ormmutant plaque formation. Two and one half to seven ug per ml concentrations of acridine reduced the size (diameter) and number of plaques formed from both. Concentrations greater than 7.0 ug per ml completely inhibited the growth of both.The host organism (Escherichia coli) was not affected by the acridine.Ball State UniversityMuncie, IN 47306
