What is a virus that infects E coli bacteria?
T4 Phage
What is the tail fiber in a virus?
It's a T4 long fiber and it attaches to the cell wall of the host
Can a virus infect a bacteria?
Yes, they are known as bacteriophages, or simply phages.For example, Enterobacteria phage T4 is a phage which infects the E-Coli bacterium.Your question should be "Can a virus infect a bacterium?" Yes they can. Viruses are 10 to 100 times smaller than bacteria or in other words, they are submicroscopic parasites. They are the smallest living things known to man.
What are thyroxine and triiodothyronine?
thyroxine replaces T4 which is produce by the thyroid gland triilodothyronine replaces T3 also produce by the thyroid gland. the cells can turn throxine in to triilothyronine but with hypothyroidism this might not occur so needs replacement
Why is a virus's reproduction cycle called the lytic cycle?
Lysis means cut open or split, the word lytic comes from lysis. In the lytic cycle, the host cells that have been infected by a virus will fill up with new viruses until they gets too full and then they split open to release the new viral particles, and the cell dies. See more about the lytic cycle in the related questions below.
Is there a vaccine for The Enterobacteria Phage T4 virus?
I believe so.
What is a virus that infects E coli bacteria?
T4 Phage
What is the real name of the t4 virus?
T4's "full name" is "Enterobacteria phage T4"!
What is the function of bacteriophage?
The function of bacteria is to reproduce. Bacteria is a large domain of prokaryotic microorganisms. They are also the cause of human and animal diseases. Some bacteria, like those in the intestines are friendly and needed for digestion.
What does a spacecraft look like?
Spacecraft virus looks like the Lunar Lander used in the Apollo Missions. Viruses of this type are called phages. The typical "Spacecraft virus" that you see illustrated in textbooks is typically a T4 Bacteriophage, also called "Enterobacteria Phage T4"
What is the genetic material of a bacteriophage?
1. Size - T4 is among the largest phages; it is approximately 200 nm long and 80-100 nm wide. Other phages are smaller. Most phages range in size from 24-200 nm in length.2. Head or Capsid - All phages contain a head structure which can vary in size and shape. Some are icosahedral (20 sides) others are filamentous. The head or capsid is composed of many copies of one or more different proteins. Inside the head is found the nucleic acid. The head acts as the protective covering for the nucleic acid.3. Tail - Many but not all phages have tails attached to the phage head. The tail is a hollow tube through which the nucleic acid passes during infection. The size of the tail can vary and some phages do not even have a tail structure. In the more complex phages like T4 the tail is surrounded by a contractile sheath which contracts during infection of the bacterium. At the end of the tail the more complex phages like T4 have a base plate and one or more tail fibers attached to it. The base plate and tail fibers are involved in the binding of the phage to the bacterial cell. Not all phages have base plates and tail fibers. In these instances other structures are involved in binding of the phage particle to the bacterium.

What stimulates production of t3 and t4?
Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) stimulates the thyroid gland to produce T4 (Thyroxine).
How are T3 T4 and TSH related?
TSH is the hormone produced by the pituitary gland that tells the thyroid to produce the thyroid hormones T4 and T3.
A virus that infects a bacterial cell is called?
Bacteriophage is the name given to a virus that infects bacteria. The name is frequently abbreviated to 'phage'. T4 phage is subject to a wide variety of experiments because it infects E. coli, and E. coli is one of the safer, more abundant and best understood bacteria to study.
What is the tail fiber in a virus?
It's a T4 long fiber and it attaches to the cell wall of the host
What is the real name for spacecraft virus?
The spacecraft virus is only named such because the shape of the virus looks like the Lunar Lander used in the Apollo Missions. Viruses of this type are called phages. The typical "Spacecraft virus" that you see illustrated in textbooks is typically a T4 Bacteriophage, also called "Enterobacteria Phage T4"
