â30th and Main,â I replied. It was the home of one of Arielleâs book club friends, who Iâd overheard planning to âsurprise her.â Iâd never been there before, but with a little help of the internet I could easily figure out where her friend lived. Fox nodded and switched his car into gear.
bacteriophage. A bacteriophage is a type of virus that infects bacteria. In fact, the word bacteriophage literally means bacteria eater, because bacteriophages destroy their host cells.All bacteriophages are composed of a nucleic acid molecule that is surrounded by a protein structure.ventually, new bacteriophages assemble and burst out of the bacterium in a process called lysis. Bacteriophages occasionally remove a portion of their host cells' bacterial DNA during the infection process and then transfer this DNA into the genome of new host cells. This process is known as transduction.
Named after the tissues they infect. For example, Adenoviruses cause common cold found in the adenoids tissues between the back of the throat and the nasal cavity. Today viruses are given a genus name ending in the word virus and a species name. If a virus affects bacteria it is called a bacteriophage or phage. HIV - RNA virus called retrovirus. HIV in a human host affects white blood cells. People with HIV eventually will get AIDS because more white blood cells become infected and produce new viruses.
