Escherichia virus T4 is a species of bacteriophages that infect Escherichia coli bacteria. It is a double-stranded DNA virus in the subfamily Tevenvirinae of the family Straboviridae. T4 is capable of undergoing only a lytic life cycle and not the lysogenic life cycle.
Tequatrovirus. Tequatrovirus is a genus of viruses in subfamily Tevenvirinae of family Straboviridae. [ 1] Gram-negative bacteria serve as the natural host, with transmission achieved through passive diffusion. There are 84 species in this genus.
The T4 rII system is an experimental system developed in the 1950s by Seymour Benzer for studying the substructure of the gene. The experimental system is based on genetic crosses of different mutant strains of bacteriophage T4 , a virus that infects the bacteria Escherichia coli .
Bacteriophage. Anatomy and infection cycle of bacteriophage T4. A bacteriophage ( / bækˈtɪərioʊfeɪdʒ / ), also known informally as a phage ( / ˈfeɪdʒ / ), is a virus that infects and replicates within bacteria and archaea. The term was derived from "bacteria" and the Greek φαγεῖν ( phagein ), meaning "to devour".
Species: Escherichia virus T4. Strain: Enterobacteria phage T2. Enterobacteria phage T2 is a virus that infects and kills E. coli. It is in the genus Tequatrovirus, and the family Myoviridae. Its genome consists of linear double-stranded DNA, with repeats at either end. The phage is covered by a protective protein coat.
Enterobacteria phage T6 is a bacteriophage strain that infects Escherichia coli bacteria. It was one bacteriophage that was used as a model system in the 1950s in exploring the methods viruses replicate, along with the other T-even bacteriophages (which build up virus species Escherichia virus T4, a member of genus T4virus according to ICTV nomenclature): Enterobacteria phage T2 ...
In a 1945 study by Demerec and Fano, [4] T7 was used to describe one of the seven phage types (T1 to T7) that grow lytically on Escherichia coli. [5] Although all seven phages were numbered arbitrarily, phages with odd numbers, or T-odd phages, were later discovered to share morphological and biochemical features that distinguish them from T-even phages.

Phi X 174. The phi X 174 (or ΦX174) bacteriophage is a single-stranded DNA ( ssDNA) virus that infects Escherichia coli. This virus was isolated in 1935 by Nicolas Bulgakov [ 1] in Félix d'Hérelle 's laboratory at the Pasteur Institute, from samples collected in Paris sewers. Its characterization and the study of its replication mechanism ...
