Lec 1 - 3 - Bacteriophages Flashcards
bacteriophages are the basis for blank technologies
recombinant dna (T4 ligase, T7 polymerase, cloning etc)
this alters bacterial virulence properties
lysogenic conversion
many microbes are harmless because they cant synthesize their blank
toxin
size of t2 bacteriphage
65 nm
size of hemoglobin molecule
15 nm
each phage attaches to one blank cell
bacteria cell
t phages and lambda are blank nucleic acid composition
double stranded dna
linear phage for sequencing used in cloning
m13 (ssDNA)
primary objective of phages is blank
replication
steps for a t4 phage life (lytic)
adsorption, penetration, replication
bacteriophages can be either blank or blank
lytic, temperate
t4 binds to blank during adsorption and then blank is made
e coli, LPS
the “legs” of the bacteriophage that binds and finds a cell to bind to
fembrils
steps of phage morphogenesis
preferential mRNA synthesis DNA synthesis protein synthesis incomplete head assembly DNA packaging tail addition maturation lysis of cell
period of time from immediate point of absorption to phage release
latent period
absorption to mature phage particles produced
eclipse period
