What is the need for phage titration?
PHAGE TRTRATION IS DONE SO AS TO FIND THE AMOUNT OF PHAGE PARTICLES PRESENT IN THE STOCK PHAGE TRTRATION IS DONE SO AS TO FIND THE AMOUNT OF PHAGE PARTICLES PRESENT IN THE STOCK
Are gene therapy considred promising?
Though the application of gene therapy at clinical level is at its primary stage it appears promising. Mostly till date it has given only temporary cure. It needs more experimenting and further bloom in technology can help it grow into a promising method.
What is temperate phage superinfection immunity?
c. Repression of the phage genome - A phage coded protein, called a repressor, is made which binds to a particular site on the phage DNA, called the operator, and shuts off transcription of most phage genes EXCEPT the repressor gene. The result is a stable repressed phage genome which is integrated into the host chromosome. Each temperate phage will only repress its own DNA and not that from other phage, so that repression is very specific (immunity to superinfection with the same phage).Reference: http://pathmicro.med.sc.edu/mayer/phage.htm
What does a phage inject when it attaches to a bacterium?
Dna and phage body
Is there a vaccine for The Enterobacteria Phage T4 virus?
I believe so.
A virus that reproduces in a bacterium is called?
phage
What is another term for a lysogenic phage?
temperate phage
When phage attaches to a bacteria the phage injects what?
DNA single
What are temperate phages?
A phage that can enter into lysogeny with its host. A phage that can become a prophage.
When a phage attaches to a bacterium what does the phage inject and what stays attached to the cell?
The part that remains outside is called the capsid or protein coat.
What is the difference between virulent phage and prophage?
temperate refers to the life cycle some phages are able to perform. A temperate phage can integrate its genome into its host bacterium's chromosome, becoming a lysogen known as a prophage. A temperate phage is also able to undergo lytic life cycles, where the prophage is expressed, replicates the phage genome and produces phage progeny and the progeny phage leave the bacterium.The virulent phages have only lytic lifecycles and thus infection results in the host cell's death (due to lytic cell destruction-the phage replicates itself and then bursts the cell, releasing many copies).So they are both the same in that they both require a host cell to reproduce. They both can have lytic lifecycles but only the temperate phage can "hitch a ride" in the host cell by integrating into the genome.
What is SDS phage?
there is nothing like SDS phage but... 1. SDS is a well know detergent used to denature proteins before electrophoresis called SDSPAGE. 2. phage (bacteriophage) is a virus that infects the bacteria which contains eother DNA or RNA. SDS PAGE can be used to determine the phage proteins which u can call SDSPAGE of phage.
