Figure 1: Example structure of a bacteriophage. Credit: Technology Networks. In order to reproduce, phage must first enter the host cell. They bind to specific receptors on the bacterial cell surface ...

coli, listeria and other frequent testing targets. The test uses harmless bacteriophages embedded in the gel to locate target bacteria in a sample of fluid such as lake water, urine or a container ...

These microbial towns are also home to bacteria’s nemeses: bacteriophages. These viruses ... see a future where we're able to introduce [specific] phages into [the built] structure to allow for ...

With the rapid development of antibiotics in the 1930s, phage therapy -- using viruses known as bacteriophages or phages to tackle bacterial infections -- fell into oblivion. But as the current ...

A data structure is a particular way storing and organizing data in a computer for efficient access and modification. Data structures are designed for a specific purpose. Examples include arrays, ...

The structure of a market is described by the number of firms competing for the demand of consumers, the nature of costs, the extent of barriers to entry and also the bargaining power of consumers on ...

The signals controlling differential translation are poorly understood. Our genome-wide mRNA secondary structure analysis indicated that operonic mRNAs are comprised of ORF-wide units of secondary ...

Previous research has shown that six Hfq subunits combine to form a ring-shaped structure and has also provided some clues about the way in which Hfq can recognise a short stretch of a small RNA ...
