  2. Bacteriophage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacteriophage

    Structural model at atomic resolution of bacteriophage T4 [1] The structure of a typical myovirus bacteriophage Anatomy and infection cycle of bacteriophage T4.. A bacteriophage (/ b æ k ˈ t ɪər i oʊ f eɪ dʒ /), also known informally as a phage (/ ˈ f eɪ dʒ /), is a virus that infects and replicates within bacteria and archaea.

  3. Phage typing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phage_typing

    Phage typing is a phenotypic method that uses bacteriophages ("phages" for short) for detecting and identifying single strains of bacteria. [1] Phages are viruses that infect bacteria and may lead to bacterial cell lysis. [2] The bacterial strain is assigned a type based on its lysis pattern. [3]

  4. Filamentous bacteriophage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filamentous_bacteriophage

    Phages fd, f1, M13 and other related phages are Ff phages, for F specific (they infect Escherichia coli carrying the F-episome) filamentous phages, using the concept of vernacular name. [45] Filamentous bacteriophage engineered to display immunogenic peptides are useful in immunology and wider biological applications.

  5. Prophage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prophage

    Integration of prophages into the bacterial host is the characteristic step of the lysogenic cycle of temperate phages. Prophages remain latent in the genome through multiple cell divisions until activation by an external factor, such as UV light, leading to production of new phage particles that will lyse the cell and spread.

  6. M13 bacteriophage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M13_bacteriophage

    M13 is one of the Ff phages (fd and f1 are others), a member of the family filamentous bacteriophage ().Ff phages are composed of circular single-stranded DNA (), which in the case of the m13 phage is 6407 nucleotides long and is encapsulated in approximately 2700 copies of the major coat protein p8, and capped with about 5 copies each of four different minor coat proteins (p3 and p6 at one ...

  7. Enterobacteria phage T2 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enterobacteria_phage_T2

    This genetic material uses the host cell's ribosomes to replicate, and synthesize proteins for the capsid and tail of the phage. New phages are assembled within the cell until the cellular membrane lyses (splits open). The newly made phages are now free to attack more cells. This process is known as the Lytic cycle. [3]

  8. T7 phage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T7_phage

    In a 1945 study by Demerec and Fano, [4] T7 was used to describe one of the seven phage types (T1 to T7) that grow lytically on Escherichia coli. [5] Although all seven phages were numbered arbitrarily, phages with odd numbers, or T-odd phages, were later discovered to share morphological and biochemical features that distinguish them from T-even phages. [6]

  9. Escherichia virus T4 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Escherichia_virus_T4

    Dating back to the 1940s and continuing today, T-even phages are considered the best studied model organisms. Model organisms are usually required to be simple with as few as five genes. Yet, T-even phages are in fact among the largest and highest complexity virus, in which these phage's genetic information is made up of around 300 genes.
