What Is a Bacteriophage Virus? This series of articles explores how viruses that exclusively infect bacterial cells recognize the hosts they parasitize and reproduce once the bacterium is infected. what is a bacteriophage • phage host recognition • bacteriophage lytic replication • phage lysogeny • bacteriphage lysogenic cycle
Renewed Interest In Phages - an Old Therapy There is renewed scientific interest in bacteriophages, an old therapeutic application of using "bacteria-eating" viruses called phages to fight infectious diseases. bacteriophage therapy to treat viral diseases • phage therapy to treat viral diseases • canadian institutes of health research • cihr • bacteriophages
Viral Phage Replication & Bacteria Bacteriophages are a particular type of virus that infects only bacterial cells. Ultimately the virus kills its host, but sometimes it first becomes a hidden prophage. viral replication • bacteriophage replication • bacteriophage virus • virus reproduction • virus replication
Bugs Killing Bugs Viruses don't just infect humans. Phages or bacterial viruses have been used for many years to kill bacteria in the lab. Some researchers think they might be useful in decontaminating food containing disease causing bacteria. phage • virus • listeria • salmonella • campylobacter
Researchers Find Weak Spot in Anthrax Bacterium Even the feared anthrax bacterium has a weak spot. Some researchers found that weak spot using an old foe of the anthrax bacterium. Click on the title to find out more. anthrax • bacillus anthracis • bacteriophage • phage • bacterium lysing-protein
Lysogenic Replication of Bacteriophage Viruses Bacteriophages reproduce by commandeering a bacterium and ultimately killing it. But sometimes, through lysogeny, the phage doesn't immediately take over its host. lysogenic cycle • viral lysogeny • virus lysogeny • viral lysogenic cycle • virion virus
Biological Virus Lytic Cycle Replication Bacteriophages are a special type of virus that exclusively infects bacterial cells. Here's how they recognize, take over and ultimately kill their host bacteria. bacteriophage reproduction • bacteriophage replication • bacteriophage bacteria • t4 phage • viral lytic cycle
Alfred Day Hershey - Pioneer in Microbiology Alfred Day Hershey was a prominent member of the Phage Church and won a Nobel Prize in 1969 for his pioneering work in DNA and heredity. hershey • dna • phage • bacteriophage • delbruck
Bacteria Horizontal Gene Transfer Although bacterial reproduction results in the generation of clones, prokaryotes can undergo genetic recombination through transformation, transduction, and conjugation. bacteria gene transfer • horizontal gene transfer • vertical gene transfer • bacterial conjugation • bacteria transduction
What Is a Virion or Virus? Viruses are not living cells, but efficient parasites that commandeer living cells and turn them into virus factories. Learn how these nonliving particles act so smart. what is a virus • biological virus • what is a virion • acellular infectious particle • anatomy of a virus
Understanding Recombinant DNA Recombinant DNA is modified genetic material that has been engineered by combining two or more strands of DNA to form novel base-pair sequences. recombinant dna • dna recombination • dna transformation • plasmid • restriction enzyme

Vascular Targeting Agents Tumors are notable for having a vascular system that has physical abnormalities as well as being highly active compared with a normal vascular system. Researchers are taking advantages of these differences to develop drugs that disrupt the functioning of the tumor vascular system leading to starvation and death of the tumor. vascular targeting agents • angiogenesis inhibitors • tumor blood vessels • endothelium • combrestatins |
