Bacteriophage infection of Escherichia coli leads to the formation of membrane vesicles via both explosive cell lysis and membrane blebbing [PDF]
, 2021 Membrane vesicles (MVs) are membrane-bound spherical nanostructures that prevail in all three domains of life. In Gram-negative bacteria, MVs are thought to be produced through blebbing of the outer membrane and are often referred to as outer membrane ...

Single-Cell Approach Reveals Intercellular Heterogeneity in Phage-Producing Capacities
Microbiology Spectrum, 2023 Bacteriophage burst size is the average number of phage virions released from infected bacterial cells, and its magnitude depends on the duration of an intracellular progeny accumulation phase.

Structure and Function of the T4 Spackle Protein Gp61.3
Viruses, 2020 The bacteriophage T4 genome contains two genes that code for proteins with lysozyme activity—e and 5. Gene e encodes the well-known T4 lysozyme (commonly called T4L) that functions to break the peptidoglycan layer late in the infection cycle, which is ...

Intergroup Lysis and Transduction by Streptococcal Bacteriophages [PDF]
Journal of Virology, 1972 Bacteriophages from streptococci of groups A, E, and G lysed streptococci distributed among serogroups A, C, G, H, and L; propagated in some, but not all, of these; and transduced streptomycin resistance within group A or (by A phages only) from group A to group G streptococci.

Label-free smartphone quantitation of bacteria by darkfield imaging of light scattering in fluoropolymer micro capillary film allows portable detection of bacteriophage lysis [PDF]
, 2020 Conventional methods for the detection and quantitation of bacteria are slow, laborious and require a laboratory. Microfluidic systems offer faster and portable testing, and smartphone cameras can record colorimetric or fluorometric bioassays, but this ...

THE GROWTH OF BACTERIOPHAGE AND LYSIS OF THE HOST [PDF]
Journal of General Physiology, 1940 1. A new strain of B. coli and of phage active against it is described, and the relation between phage growth and lysis has been studied. It has been found that the phage can lyse these bacteria in two distinct ways, which have been designated lysis from within and lysis from without. 2.

Bacteriophage Therapy as an Application for Bacterial Infection in China
Antibiotics, 2023 Antibiotic resistance has emerged as a significant issue to be resolved around the world. Bacteriophage (phage), in contrast to antibiotics, can only kill the target bacteria with no adverse effect on the normal bacterial flora.

Factors in Lysis and Lysis Inhibition by Lambda Bacteriophage [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 1965 Groman, Neal B. (University of Washington, Seattle). Factors in lysis and lysis inhibition by lambda bacteriophage. J. Bacteriol. 90: 1563–1568. 1965.—Induced Escherichia coli strain K-12(λ112) exhibited lysis inhibition at 37 C but lysed at 44 C when incubated in LB medium ...
