[主題詞] T-Phages
[英文釋義] A series of 7 virulent phages which infect E. coli. The T-even phages T2,T4; (BACTERIOPHAGE T4),and T6,and the phage T5 are called autonomously virulent because they cause cessation of all bacterial metabolism on infection. Phages T1,T3; (BACTERIOPHAGE T3),and T7; (BACTERIOPHAGE T7) are called dependent virulent because they depend on continued bacterial metabolism during the lytic cycle. The T-even phages contain 5-hydroxymethylcytosine in place of ordinary cytosine in their DNA.
