What exotoxin is produced from phage?
Inside the membrane, the bacteria produce an exotoxin, which is a poisonous secretion that causes the life-threatening symptoms of diphtheria. The exotoxin is carried throughout the body in the bloodstream, destroying healthy tissue
Is a virus that infects bacteria called bacteriophage?
bacteriophage
When viruses infect bacteria what is it called?
A bacteriophage
What biological toxin acts by inhibiting DNA replication and protein synthesis?
Ricin is a biological toxin that acts by inhibiting protein synthesis by binding to the ribosomes and halting protein production.
What is a bacteriophage?
A bacteriophage is a kind of virus that infects and kills bacteria.a virus that attacks bacteria
Does corynebacterium diphtheriae produce exotoxin?
Yes, Corynebacterium diphtheriae produces an exotoxin that is responsible for the symptoms of diphtheria. This toxin inhibits protein synthesis in host cells, leading to cell death and contributing to the characteristic lesions and systemic effects of the disease. The production of this exotoxin is regulated by the presence of a specific bacteriophage, which carries the toxin gene.

A virus that infects a bacteria is known as a?
The type of virus that infects a bacteria is called a bacteriophage. An example of such a bacteriophage is the T3 bacteriophage.
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.
Does cyanide have any commercial value as a toxin?
Cyanide compounds are used in food production, mining, organic chemistry and as a toxin in pest control.
What special test is necessary to prove that the diphtheria organism has the potential to cause disease?
To prove that the diphtheria organism (Corynebacterium diphtheriae) has the potential to cause disease, the Elek test is commonly used. This test detects the presence of diphtheria toxin produced by the bacteria. A positive result indicates that the organism is capable of causing disease due to toxin production. The Elek test is performed by inoculating a culture medium with the suspected organism and then applying antitoxin to observe for toxin production through a characteristic precipitin line.
When viruses infect bacteria what is it called?
A bacteriophage
What is a virus that infects the bacteria called?
Bacteriophage
What toxin inhibits the production of GTP in a signal transduction pathway?
G-protein-linked
Is bacteriophage a fungi that attacks bacteria?
No. A bacteriophage is a virus that attacks bacteria.
