Lysis Timing and Bacteriophage Fitness [PDF]
Abstract The effect of lysis timing on bacteriophage (phage) fitness has received little theoretical or experimental attention. Previously, the impact of lysis timing on phage fitness was studied using a theoretical model based on the marginal value theorem from the optimal foraging theory.

Purification of bacteriophage-expressed proteins poses methodological difficulties associated with the need to process entire culture medium volume upon bacteriophage-induced bacterial cell lysis.

Bacteriophage lysis: mechanism and regulation [PDF]
Bacteriophage lysis involves at least two fundamentally different strategies. Most phages elaborate at least two proteins, one of which is a murein hydrolase, or lysin, and the other is a membrane protein, which is given the designation holin in this review.

Lytic Activity of Staphylococcal Bacteriophage on Different Biotypes of Staphylococcus aureus
Bacteriophage is a virus that infects a bacterium by injecting a phage genome into a bacterial cytoplasm and uses a host cell as a propagation mechanism. The studied models of phages show a narrow range of hosts.

Isolation and Characterization of Salmonella Jumbo-Phage pSal-SNUABM-04
The increasing emergence of antimicrobial resistance has become a global issue. Therefore, many researchers have attempted to develop alternative antibiotics. One promising alternative is bacteriophage.

Lysis of lysis-inhibited bacteriophage T4-infected cells [PDF]
T4 bacteriophage (phage)-infected cells show a marked increase in latent-period length, called lysis inhibition, upon adsorption of additional T4 phages (secondary adsorption). Lysis inhibition is a complex phenotype requiring the activity of at least six T4 genes. Two basic mysteries surround our understanding of the expression of lysis inhibition: (i)

Novel bacteriophages containing a genome of another bacteriophage within their genomes [PDF]
The work was funded by the Scottish Government’s Rural and Environment Science and Analytical Services (RESAS) DivisionA novel bacteriophage infecting Staphylococus pasteuri was isolated during a screen for phages in Antarctic soils.

Persistence of bacteriophage T4 in a starved Escherichia coli culture: evidence for the presence of phage subpopulations. [PDF]
Bacteriophage T4 is able to adjust its development to the growth parameters of the host cell. Here, we present evidence for the production of two different subpopulations of phage particles, which differ in their ability to infect starved Escherichia ...
