A bacteriophage (/ bækˈtɪərioʊfeɪdʒ /), also known informally as a phage (/ ˈfeɪdʒ /), is a virus that infects and replicates within bacteria and archaea. The term is derived from Ancient Greek φαγεῖν (phagein) 'to devour' and bacteria.

2025年1月11日 · Bacteriophage, any of a group of viruses that infect bacteria. Bacteriophages were discovered independently by Frederick W. Twort in Great Britain (1915) and Felix d’Herelle in France (1917). Thousands of varieties of phages exist. Certain types serve key roles in laboratory research.

2022年9月26日 · Bacteriophages, also known as phages, are viruses that infect and replicate only in bacterial cells. They are ubiquitous in the environment and recognized as the earth's most abundant biological agent. They are extremely diverse in …

2022年3月28日 · Bacteriophage or Phage is a virus that infects and replicates only within the body of bacteria. Bacteriophages were discovered independently by Frederick W. Twort in the U.K and Félix d’Hérelle in France.

Bacteriophages occupy a unique position in biology, representing an absolute majority of all organisms in the biosphere. Because their genomes are relatively small, elucidating the genetic diversity of the phage population, deciphering their origins, and identifying the evolutionary mechanisms that shape the population would seem readily feasible.

2023年10月27日 · Bacteriophages, also known as phages, are those viruses that infect and reproduce within bacteria. They are ubiquitously found and are the most abundant biological agent on Earth. The most commonly studied bacteriophage, …

Bacteriophage (bacteria-eater), as the name suggests, are the viruses that infect and replicate within bacteria. They are commonly called a phage. They are found everywhere. They contain DNA or RNA in their genome, which is encapsulated in a protein coat. They also infect archaea.

20 小时之前 · Key facts. Bacteriophages (phages) are viruses that selectively target and kill bacteria. They are the most abundant commonly occurring natural entities, playing crucial roles in regulating bacterial populations and influencing microbial ecosystems.

2023年6月14日 · Bacteriophages, also known as phages, are fascinating viruses that have evolved to infect and manipulate bacterial cells. Understanding their structure is key to unraveling their intricate mechanisms of infection and their potential applications in various fields.
