Guida verificata passo dopo passo1
Understand the lytic cycle of a bacteriophage, which includes several stages: attachment, penetration, biosynthesis, assembly, and release.
Attachment: The phage attaches to the surface of the bacterial host cell using its tail fibers.
Penetration: The phage injects its genetic material into the host cell, leaving the capsid outside.
Biosynthesis: The host cell's machinery is used to replicate the phage's DNA and synthesize phage proteins.
Assembly: New phage particles are assembled from the replicated DNA and synthesized proteins, forming complete virions inside the host cell.
