Sep 26, 2022 · Bacteriophages, also known as phages, are viruses that infect and replicate only in bacterial cells. They are ubiquitous in the environment and recognized as the earth's most abundant biological agent. They are extremely diverse in size, morphology, and genomic organization.

Bacteriophage T4 is the most well-studied member of Myoviridae, the most complex family of tailed phages. T4 assembly is divided into three independent pathways: the head, the tail and the long tail fibers. The prolate head encapsidates a 172 kbp concatemeric dsDNA genome.

May 13, 2022 · These steps are essential for bacteriophages to be able to inject their nucleic acid inside the bacterial cell. The phage enzymes responsible for degrading the CPS are known as depolymerases and can either be found as part of the phage structure or be released into the media as free enzymes.

Structure of bacteriophage. Length of phages varies widely and usually ranges from 24 to 200 nm (Mayer 2016 ). T4 phages are among the largest phages that are approximately 200 nm in length and 80–100 nm wide. Phages having an icosahedral shape or a shape with 20 sides and filaments are also common ( http://www.microrao.com/micronotes ...
