• Bacteria store nutrients in ______

  Inclusions

• What are the 5 stages of bacteriophage infection?

  1) Attack - attachment to specific receptors
  2) Penetration - lysozymes open cell wall, DNA inserted into cell
  3) Replication - Host DNA degraded, host cell replicates viral DNA
  4) Assembly - Self assembly and transduction occur
  5) Release  - cell lyses, virus is released
