This study of the interaction between Mycobacterium leprae and the mycobacteriophage D29 showed that the viruses caused a patchy damage of cell wall structure and the accumulation in the host of internal crystalline structures. Whether the observed ultrastructural alterations were caused by the replication of D29 was not clear. Mitomycin C also caused the accumulation of crystalline structures in M. leprae.
