CTXφ Bacteriophage

Overview

The CTXφ bacteriophage is a lysogenic, filamented phage responsible for turning the previously non-infectious Vibrio cholerae into a highly pathogenic microbe that causes disease in humans. Select a topic about genetics or evolution in a specific organism or ecosystem.
The topic must include one section about microbes (bacteria, viruses, fungi, or protists). This is easy because all organisms and ecosystems have microbes.
