Best Answer

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.

What does a phage inject when it attaches to a bacterium?

Dna and phage body


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


When the bacteriophage DNA becomes part of the bacterial chromosome?

During phage infection into bacteria, it penetrates phage DNA into bacterium,which will be integrated in to the bacterial genome (chromosome) to replicate and synthesize phage molecules.


What does SDS do to cells?

SDS (Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate) solution is an anionic detergent. Detergents dissolve lipid.


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.

A phage that can enter into lysogeny with its host. A phage that can become a prophage.

Are SDS and SDS-plus bits the same?

The short answer to your question is "yes". I found myself researching the same question a few days ago and found that the real difference is between SDS/SDS Plus and SDS Max. I don't recall the exact dimension now, so I won't try to quote it, but the Max is a larger size. The answer I found was enough to tell me I used SDS (SDS Plus), and those were the bits I needed to buy. Once I knew that, I didn't need to remember the size of SDS Max...they were too big for my drill. Last point, SDS Plus is sometimes shortened to SDS+.


Can we autoclave SDS solution?

SDS solution should not be autoclaved. Moreover any other solution containing SDS should not be autoclaved too. Because SDS will cause boil over of the solution.
