  2. Bacteriophage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacteriophage

    An example of a bacteriophage known to follow the lysogenic cycle and the lytic cycle is the phage lambda of E. coli. [53] Sometimes prophages may provide benefits to the host bacterium while they are dormant by adding new functions to the bacterial genome, in a phenomenon called lysogenic conversion.

  3. Caudoviricetes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caudoviricetes

    However, some tailed bacteriophage genomes can vary quite significantly in nucleotide sequence, even among the same genus. Due to their characteristic structure and possession of potentially homologous genes, it is believed these bacteriophages possess a common origin.

  4. Type VI secretion system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_VI_secretion_system

    The tubules consist of repeating units of the proteins TssA and TssB (VipA/VipB) arranged as a sheath around a tube built from stacked hexameric rings of the haemolysin co-regulated protein (Hcp). [ 12 ] [ 13 ] At the tip of the Hcp tube sits a trimer of the phage tail spike-like protein VgrG, which is in turn capped by a pointed PAAR domain ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Escherichia_virus_T4

    The species was formerly named T-even bacteriophage, a name which also encompasses, among other strains (or isolates), Enterobacteria phage T2, Enterobacteria phage T4 and Enterobacteria phage T6. Use in research

  6. Mycobacteriophage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mycobacteriophage

    Mycobacteriophage Bxb1 Structure [1]. A mycobacteriophage is a member of a group of bacteriophages known to have mycobacteria as host bacterial species. While originally isolated from the bacterial species Mycobacterium smegmatis and Mycobacterium tuberculosis, [2] the causative agent of tuberculosis, more than 4,200 mycobacteriophage species have since been isolated from various environmental ...

  7. Lambda phage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lambda_phage

    Bacteriophage Lambda Structure at Atomic Resolution [1] Enterobacteria phage λ (lambda phage, coliphage λ, officially Escherichia virus Lambda) is a bacterial virus, or bacteriophage, that infects the bacterial species Escherichia coli (E. coli). It was discovered by Esther Lederberg in 1950. [2]

  8. Phageome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phageome

    [1] [2] Phageome is a subcategory of virome, which is all of the viruses that are associated with a host or environment. [3] The term was first used in an article by Modi et al. in 2013 [ 4 ] and has continued to be used in scientific articles that relate to bacteriophages and their metagenomes.

  9. Prophage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prophage

    A prophage is a bacteriophage (often shortened to "phage") genome that is integrated into the circular bacterial chromosome or exists as an extrachromosomal plasmid within the bacterial cell. [1] Integration of prophages into the bacterial host is the characteristic step of the lysogenic cycle of temperate phages.
