| bacteriophage phi x 174 | The type species of the genus microvirus. A prototype of the small virulent DNA coliphages, it is composed of a single strand of supercoiled circular DNA, which on infection, is converted to a double-stranded replicative form by a host enzyme. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| bacteriophage plaque | A clear circular zone in an otherwise confluent growth of bacteria on an agar surface resulting from bacterial lysis by bacterial viruses. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bacteriophage resistance | Resistance of a bacterial mutant to infection by a bacteriophage to which the parent (wild type) strain is susceptible. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bacteriophage t3 | Bacteriophage in the genus t7-like phages, of the family podoviridae, which is very closely related to bacteriophage t7. (12 Dec 1998) |
| bacteriophage T3 RNA polymerase | <enzyme> Used for the rapid generation of strand-specific RNA molecules that can be used for the identification of genes in hybridization experiments Registry number: EC 2.7.7.- Synonym: t3 RNA polymerase (26 Jun 1999) |
| bacteriophage t4 | <microbiology> A bacteriophage (a virus which infects bacteria) which uses DNA as its genetic material (some viruses use RNA) and is unusually large. (09 Oct 1997) |
| bacteriophage t7 | <microbiology> A bacteriophage (a virus which infects bacteria) that is useful to geneticists because it has a very strong promoter region which strongly encourages transcription of its gene by specific T7 RNA polymerase. Geneticists can take the part with the promoter and attach their own genes of interest to it so that they can control transcription rates of their gene by choosing the amount of the RNA polymerase to put in. (09 Oct 1997) |
| bacteriophage T7 induced DNA polymerase | <enzyme> Complex of two proteins, phage gene 5 protein and E coli thioredoxin Registry number: EC 2.7.7.- Synonym: t7 phage DNA polymerase, sequenase, t7 DNA polymerase, thermo sequenase (26 Jun 1999) |
| bacteriophage typing | A technique of bacterial typing which differentiates between bacteria or strains of bacteria by their susceptibility to one or more bacteriophages. (12 Dec 1998) |
| bacteriophages | Viruses whose host is a bacterial cell. (12 Dec 1998) |
| bacteriophagia | The lysis of bacteria by bacteriophage. Synonym: bacteriophagia, d'Herelle phenomenon, Twort phenomenon. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bacteriophagology | The study of bacteriophages. Synonym: protobiology. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bacteriopheophorbide | Bacteriophorbin with the side chains found in bacteriochlorophyll, but lacking the phytyl group. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bacteriopheophorbin | De-esterfied bacteriopheophorbide, derived from bacteriochlorin. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bacteriopheophytin | Bacteriopheophor bide with a phytyl ester on the C-17 propionic residue; bacteriochlorophyll less its magnesium residue. (05 Mar 2000) |
