Abstract

It is established, that cryopreservation and freeze-drying of bacteriophage T4 cause non-lethal damages owing to that the duration of latent period of phage development increases and the output of a phage decreases. Changes of endocellular cycle development of a phage are more expressed after freeze-drying. Cryopreservation causes the damages of bacterial cells leading to the change of a phage morphogenesis and impairment of an endocellular cycle of phage development, including biosynthetic processes.
