The impact of bacterial metabolism on successful bacteriophage infection

University of Leicester Department of Genetics and Genome Biology

Bacteriophages, or phages are bacterial viruses and the most abundant and diverse biological entities on Earth. Throughout the biosphere they outnumber their bacterial hosts by at least 10 to 1 and strikingly, most of the functions of most genes encoded by phages remains unknown. Read more
