What does a bacteriophage look like?
A bacteriophage looks like a long upright insect-like organism with a diamond shape. The bottom of it is a base plate, a hexagonal plate above that that leads up to the long upright "body" or helical sheath with a tin collar core and atop of that the "diamond-shaped" head.
What shape are viruses that attack bacteria?
A virus that attacks bacteria is called a "Bacteriophage"
The way that genetic material of a bacteriophage enters a bacterium is most like the way that?
a key unlocks a door. The genetic material of a bacteriophage enters a bacterium by attaching to the bacterial cell wall and injecting its DNA or RNA into the host cell, taking over the cell's machinery to replicate itself. Just like a key unlocks a door to gain entry, the bacteriophage's genetic material gains entry into the bacterium to begin infection.
Which bacteriophage lifestyles involves continuous production of new bacteriophage again and again without stopping causing the nearly immediate death of each new host?
Sounds like you are describing the lysogenic cycle.
What virus is like T2 and infects bacteria?
This virus is a bacteriophage. The word means bacteria eater.
What is a bactriophage?
A bacteriophage is a virus that infects and replicates within bacteria. It injects its genetic material into a bacterial cell, taking over the cell's machinery to produce more virus particles. Bacteriophages are being studied for their potential use in treating bacterial infections as an alternative to antibiotics.
Draws thes structures ofs as typicals prokaryotics cells?
it is like a long strand of dna, liike a bacteriophage
Can pure culture be prepared directly from a mixed broth culture?
Yes. The culture plate is streaked with a very dilute sample from the broth. It is then incubated and you will see several different looking colonies on the plate.Pick one and then grow that one in a broth and steak another plate after 24 hours. If done correctly, the plate will only have one colony that looks like the one that you selected.
What are the useful and harmful effects of viruses?
Some viruses are beneficial in that they have commercial uses. Examples are tulips with streaks of color. Other viruses cause diseases such as colds, HIV.
What eats E. coli?
Ecoli is a bacteria and can be found in pretty much any food. Most commonly, ecoli is in raw chicken.
What is difference between a lawn culture and streak plate?
Alsalam alkom There is a difference between the two term (lawn culture and streak culture), if you used a loop for making new culture from primary culture you called that streaking method (like ABC streaking method), while if you used swab and streaked almost all the plate then, you can say (lawn culture).. In conclusion to the above 1- streaking is used to purify the bacterial culture (i.e to make well isolated colony) 2- lawn culture is used for antibiotic sensitivity tests Ali Maki .
What is a bateriophage?
A bacteriophage is a virus that infects and replicates within bacteria. It does this by injecting its genetic material into a host bacterium and using the host's cellular machinery to replicate itself. Bacteriophages are being researched for potential applications in areas like medicine and biotechnology.
