Molecular, Genetic, and Biochemical Analysis of the Phikt Disruptin: A New Class of Lysis Proteins (2019-05-03)Phages are the viruses of bacteria. To complete the infection cycle, phages produce lysis proteins to overcome the bacterial cell envelope. The final barrier in Gram-negative hosts is the outer membrane (OM). We have ...
