It isn't easy to be a phage. A phage is a virus that infects Bacteria. First, what is a phage?
Of course, the cell resists this hostile takeover in numerous ways, all of which the successful phage overcomes. To succeed, a phage must encounter, recognize, and enter a particular type of bacterial cell, then coerce it to make more phages rather than more cells. The triumphant phage then proceeds with its replicative business.
In this engaging book, Merry Youle relates some of the tactics used by 21 pheatured phages to outwit their host and successfully maintain their own lineage generation after generation.This ongoing contest of wits is a matter of life and death for both players. A phage chromosome arriving in its intended host cell is met by the cell's state-of-the-art defenses. Unless it dodges or neutralizes every one, it will be chopped into a nutritious snack for the cell.
