Architecture of the bacteriophage lambda tail

Bacteriophage lambda has a double-stranded DNA genome and a long, flexible, non-contractile tail encoded by a contiguous block of 11 genes downstream of the head genes. The tail

The Function of Bacteriophage Tail Fibers: Infection and Replication

Without tail fibers, phages couldn''t **attach to bacterial surfaces**—making them essential for infection. Structurally, they''re composed of **subunits like gp34 (long fibers) or gp35 (short fibers)**, arranged
