The CTXφ bacteriophage (or sometimes written as CTXphi bacteriophage) is a lysogenic, filamentous, single-stranded DNA phage that is responsible for turning the previously non-infectious Vibrio cholerae into a highly pathogenic microbe that causes disease in humans.[2],[3], [4]
Genetic Material
Include some current research, with at least one image.
Infection, Replication & Lysing of Host Cell
In a process known as lysogenic phage conversion, the CTXφ bacteriophage integrates, among others, ctxAB genes into its host, Vibrio cholerae.
Other examples:
Bold
Italic
Subscript: H2O
Superscript: Fe3+
CT & non-CT Toxins
Include some current research, with a second image.
Conclusion
Overall text length should be at least 1,000 words (before counting references), with at least 2 images. Include at least 5 references under Reference section.
