Definition
English
:
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.
