Aggregation/dispersion transitions of T4 phage triggered by environmental ion availability

Aggregation/dispersion transitions of T4 phage triggered by environmental ion availability

Abstract Background Bacteriophage survives in at least two extremes of ionic environments: bacterial host (high ionic-cytosol) and that of soil (low ionic-environmental water). The impact of ionic composition in the micro- and macro-environments has not so far been addressed in phage biology. Result...
