TMP, FQ, and HFQ kill T4 phage under mild experimental conditions in its virion form, but not in its vegetative form. The process occurs through a two-step irradiation procedure, characteristic of DNA bifunctional lesions. We hypothesize the induction of DNA–protein cross-links in mature phages that can inhibit the infection process.

Abstract
TMP, FQ, and HFQ kill T4 phage under mild experimental conditions in its virion form, but not in its vegetative form. The process occurs through a two-step irradiation procedure, characteristic of DNA bifunctional lesions. We hypothesize the induction of DNA–protein cross-links in mature phages that can inhibit the infection process.File in questo prodotto:
