Description A temperate phage coding for constitutive hypertoxigenicity has been
constructed in Vibrio cholerae strain 569B and used to lysogenise the low-toxinproducing
strain MAK 757; 18% of lysogens showed 10-100-fold increase in toxin
production. This property was also transmitted at low frequency to second generation
lysogens. Thus temperate phage can increase toxin production in a low-toxinproducing
strain.
