Families and characteristics of bacteriophages, the indicator ...
2022年4月4日 · Bacteriophages, also called phages, are viruses that infect bacteria, using their cellular machinery to replicate. In their extracellular phase (virion), bacteriophages consist of a nucleic acid (double-stranded or single-stranded RNA or DNA) surrounded by a protein coat called the capsid.
Bacteriophage - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
Bacteriophages are viruses that infect bacteria in order to replicate. Bacteriophages exhibit a broad spectrum of specificities with some able to infect bacteria within a complete genus (e.g., FO1 phage of Salmonella or A511 of Listeria) and with others able to cross the genus barrier. However, in the majority of cases, bacteriophages exhibit a ...

Bacteriophage - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
Bacteriophages, or simply phages, are the most abundant microorganisms on Earth and are extensively distributed, including in foods of various origins; they are considered safe to humans, animals, and plants.
Bacteriophage (phage) are obligate intracellular parasites that multiply inside bacteria by making use of some or all of the host biosynthetic machinery (pathmicro.med.sc.edu/ppt). The term is commonly used in its shortened form, phage.
