Virus that infects bacteria, sometimes causing the death of the host organism.
A virus that infects a bacterium.
virus (phage) that infects a bacterium
Any virus that infects bacteria. They were the first organisms used for the study of molecular genetics and are now widely used as cloning vectors. (From Greek phagein, to eat.)
a virus that attacks bacteria
(abbreviated as phage) A virus that parasitizes bacteria.
(bak teer´ ee o fayj) [Gr. bakterion: little rod + phagein: to eat] • One of a group of viruses that infect bacteria and ultimately cause their disintegration.
A virus that invades and destroys ("eats") host bacteria
a virus which destroys bacteria - of particular concern for fermented foods, where bacteriophages destroy starter organisms needed to make cheese and yogurt
a virus that is parasitic in bacteria; it uses the bacterium's machinery and energy to produce more phage until the bacterium is destroyed and phage is released to invade surrounding bacteria
a small virus that can take over a bacterium's cellular machinery
a type of virus that destroys bacteria
a virus that looks like an alien bug with multiple legs
Bacterial virus. Lambda bacteriophage is the basis of many E. coli vectors which are used for cDNA and genomic DNA libraries. Filamentous bacteriophages are used to produce single-stranded DNA for sequencing or in vitro mutagenesis (eg. M13), and as vectors for Phage display expression screening systems
a virus that destroys bacteria in order to reproduce; literally, "bacteria eater"
A bacterial virus; a virus capable of infecting bacteria.
Any virus that infect bacteria, also known as phage.
A virus that infects bacteria.
A virus whose host is a bacterium.
A virus which parasitises bacteria by infecting it and reproducing inside it.
Virus that lives in and kills bacteria. Also called phage.
Beside viruses attacking animal or plant cells there are viruses attacking bacteria. These are called bacteriophages, or phages for short.
A type of virus which infects bacteria. Go to top
Virus which infects and destroys a bacterial host. Some phages, however, will incorporate their DNA into that of their host, and remain dormant for an extended period. For this reason, they have become essential tools of genetic engineers.
(phage) virus that infects bacteria.
phage) Any virus that infects bacterial cells. Some bacteriophage are widely used as cloning vectors.
A virus that replicates inside a bacterium. ( 10)
