T-EVEN
|
T2, T4, T6, etc...
|
|
|
What does T-even phages infect?
|
Different strains of E. coli
|
|
|
T-Even are?
|
large & complex viruses
|
|
|
Step 1: Absorbtion
|
Bacteriophage's tail fibers attach to receptors on the host cell & weak chemical bonds are formed
|
|
|
Step 2: Penetration
|
Phage lowers pins ino hosts cell wall, releases little bit of lysozyme & injects nucleic acid by contracting tail sheath
Capsid remains outside of cell and breaks free |
|
|
Step 3: Biosynthesis of Viral Components
|
Viral nucleic acids take over reproductive machinery of host cell, becoming a virus factory
|
|
|
Step 4: Maturation & Assembly
|
Nucleic Acids, Capsids are assembled into complete virions.
|
|
|
Step 5: Release
|
Synthesis & release of large qty's of lysozyme, causing host cellwall to breakdown resulting in lysis of cell & release of new formed phage
