Hi mate!!
Question:
What is Bacteriophage?
Answer:
Bacteriophages:
Viruses infection bacteria are called Bacteriophages. It literally means 'eaters of bacteria' ( Gr: Phagein = to eat ). Pages are abundant in soil, sewage water, fruits, vegetables, and milk.
Question:
Explain the penetration process in Bacteriophage
Answer:
Penetration:
The penetration process involves mechanical and enzymatic enzymatic digestion of cell wall of the host. At the recognition site phage digests certain cell wall structure by viral enzymes (lysosome). After pinning the tail shealth contracts (using ATP) and appears shorter and thicker. After contraction the base plate and enlarges through which DNA is injected into the cell wall without using metabolic energy. The steps involving injection of DNA particle alone into the bacterial cell is called Transfection. The empty protein coat leaving outside the cell is known as 'ghost'.
