In Vitro Studies of Lipopolysaccharide-Mediated DNA Release of Podovirus HK620
Gram-negative bacteria protect themselves with an outermost layer containing lipopolysaccharide (LPS).O-antigen-specific bacteriophages use tailspike proteins (TSP) to recognize and cleave the O-polysaccharide part of LPS.However, O-antigen composition and jmannino.com structure can be highly variable depending on the environmental conditions.It is
