  2. Bacteriophage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacteriophage

    Many of these effects are probably indirect, hence the challenge becomes to identify the direct interactions among bacteria and phage. [80] Several attempts have been made to map protein–protein interactions among phage and their host. For instance, bacteriophage lambda was found to interact with its host, E. coli, by dozens of interactions ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phage_therapy

    Phage effects on the human microbiome also contribute to safety issues in phage therapy. Many phages, especially temperate ones, carry genes that can affect the pathogenicity of the host. Many phages, especially temperate ones, carry genes that can affect the pathogenicity of the host.

  4. 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]

  5. Corynebacterium diphtheriae - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corynebacterium_diphtheriae

    Bacteriophages introduce a gene into the bacterial cells that makes a strain toxigenic. The strains that are not infected with these viruses are harmless. [5] C. diphtheriae is a rod-shaped, Gram-positive, non spore-forming, and nonmotile bacterium. [17] C. diphtheriae has shown to exclusively infect humans. It is believed that humans may be ...

  6. Introduction to viruses - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Introduction_to_viruses

    Bacteriophages are viruses that infect bacteria and archaea. [76] They are important in marine ecology: as the infected bacteria burst, carbon compounds are released back into the environment, which stimulates fresh organic growth. Bacteriophages are useful in scientific research because they are harmless to humans and can be studied easily.

  7. 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 ...

    The prokaryotic cell is shown with its DNA, in green. 2. The bacteriophage attaches and releases its DNA, shown in red, into the prokaryotic cell. 3. The phage DNA then moves through the cell to the host's DNA. 4. The phage DNA integrates itself into the host cell's DNA, creating prophage. 5. The prophage then remains dormant until the host ...

  9. CrAssphage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CrAssphage

    CrAss-like phage (crassviruses) are a bacteriophage family representing the most abundant viruses in the human gut, discovered in 2014 by cross assembling reads in human fecal metagenomes. [1] In silico comparative genomics and taxonomic analysis have found that crAss-like phages represent a highly abundant and diverse family of viruses.
