Examples of bacteriophage in the following topics:
-
- Bacteriophage cultures require host cells in which the virus or phage multiply.
- For bacteriophages, cultures are grown by infecting bacterial cells .
- A bacteriophage is any one of a number of viruses that infect bacteria .
- This specificity means a bacteriophage can infect only those bacteria bearing receptors to which they can bind, which in turn determines the phage's host range.
- For bacteriophages, cultures are grown by infecting bacterial cells.
-
- Bacteriophage Mu is a temperate bacteriophage that uses DNA-based transposition in its lysogenic cycle.
- Bacteriophage Mu, or phage Mu, is a temperate bacteriophage, a type of virus that infects bacteria.
- Mu bacteriophage uses DNA-based transposition to integrate its genome into the genome of the host cell that it is infecting.
- Structural overview of the T4 phage, from the same family (Myoviridae) as Mu bacteriophage.
-
- Bacteriophages are viruses that infect bacteria and are among the most common and diverse entities in the biosphere.
- Bacteriophages (phages) are potentially the most numerous "organisms" on Earth.
- Bacteriophages occur in over 140 bacterial or archaeal genera.
- Over 5100 bacteriophages have been examined in the electron microscope since 1959.
- Bacteriophages may have a lytic cycle or a lysogenic cycle, and a few viruses are capable of carrying out both.
-
- Nineteen families of bacteriophages that infect bacteria and archaea are currently recognized; of these, only two families have RNA genomes.
- Nineteen families of bacteriophages that infect bacteria and archaea are currently recognized.
- Cystoviruses are the only bacteriophage that are more closely related to viruses of eukaryotes than to other phage.
- Bacteriophage Φ6 is a member of the Cystoviridae family.
- Φ6 and its relatives have a lipid membrane around their nucleocapsid, a rare trait among bacteriophages.
-
- T-4 bacteriophage is a virulent bacteriophage that infects E. coli bacteria; virulent bacteriophages have a lytic life cycle.
- Model organisms of virulent viruses that have been extensively studied include virus T4 and other T-even bacteriophages which infect Escherichia coli and a number of related Bacteria.
- T-4 bacteriophage is a bacteriophage that infects E. coli bacteria.
- These bacteriophage infect a host cell with their information and then blow up the host cell, thereby propagating themselves.
-
- Scarlet fever is caused by a bacteriophage that infects Streptococcus pyogenes.
- Scarlet fever is caused by an erythrogenic toxin, a substance produced by the bacterium Streptococcus pyogenes (group A strep. ) when it is infected by a certain bacteriophage.
- It is carried by the bacteriophage T12, which integrates into the Streptococcal genome, from where the toxin is transcribed.
-
- In virology, temperate refers to the ability of some bacteriophages to display a lysogenic life cycle.
- In virology, temperate refers to the ability of some bacteriophages (notable coliphage λ) to display a lysogenic life cycle.
- P1 is a temperate bacteriophage (phage) that infects Escherichia coli and some other bacteria.
- Enterobacteria phage λ (lambda phage, coliphage λ) is a bacterial virus, or bacteriophage, that infects the bacterial species Escherichia coli.
- Schematic representation of the insertion of the bacteriophage lambda.
-
- Some bacteriophages, such as Enterobacteria phage T4 , have a complex structure consisting of an icosahedral head bound to a helical tail, which may have a hexagonal base plate with protruding protein tail fibers.
- Other archaeal viruses resemble the tailed bacteriophages, and can have multiple tail structures.
- T4 is a bacteriophage that infects E. coli and is referred to as a complex virus.
-
- A phage or bacteriophage is a virus capable of infecting a bacterial cell, and may cause lysis to its host cell.
- Bacteriophages have a specific affinity for bacteria.
-
- When bacteriophages (viruses that infect bacteria) infect a bacterial cell, their normal mode of reproduction is to harness the replicational, transcriptional, and translation machinery of the host bacterial cell to make numerous virions, or complete viral particles, including the viral DNA or RNA and the protein coat.
- The packaging of bacteriophage DNA has low fidelity and small pieces of bacterial DNA, together with the bacteriophage genome, may become packaged into the bacteriophage genome.
- Generalized transduction is the process by which any bacterial gene may be transferred to another bacterium via a bacteriophage, and typically carries only bacterial DNA and no viral DNA.
- If bacteriophages undertake the lytic cycle of infection upon entering a bacterium, the virus will take control of the cell's machinery for use in replicating its own viral DNA.
- The excised DNA is then packaged into a new virus particle, which can then deliver the DNA to a new bacterium, where the donor genes can be inserted into the recipient chromosome or remain in the cytoplasm, depending on the nature of the bacteriophage.
