    Mechanism of the Photocatalytic Inactivation of Lactobacillus casei Phage PL-1 by Titania Thin Film

    The mechanism of the inactivation of Lactobacillus casei phage PL-1 suspended in a phosphate buffer by black-light (BL) -catalytic titanium dioxide (TiO2) thin film was studied. Generation of both superoxide anio...

    Electron microscope studies on the host cell energy requirement for injection of PL-1 phage DNA intoLactobacillus casei

    The process of genome DNA injection, after adsorption, by phage PL-1 intoLactobacillus casei ATCC 27092 was monitored by electron microscopy. The DNA injection depended on the incubation temperature, and the appa...
