When the bacteriophage was discovered, this was a turning point for bacteriology, but phages long remained the concern of medical bacteriologists. |
The diagram below at right shows a virus that attacks bacteria, known as the lambda bacteriophage, which measures roughly 200 nanometers. |
He said they do not think using bacteriophage as an indicator is a good methodology because depuration may not remove viruses. |
A bacteriophage is a virus that only infects bacteria, they don't infect any human tissue. |
Also, it is the surface receptor of the virus, bacteriophage lambda. |
We saw in the previous sections that packaged bacteriophage capsids are pressurized with pressures as high as 60 atm. |
