- Research Article | SpotlightMore than Rotating Flagella: Lipopolysaccharide as a Secondary Receptor for Flagellotropic Phage 7-7-1
Flagellotropic bacteriophages belong to the tailed-phage order Caudovirales, the most abundant phages in the virome. While it is known that these viruses adhere to the bacterial flagellum and use flagellar rotation to reach the cell surface, their infection mechanisms are poorly understood. Characterizing flagellotropic-phage–host interactions is crucial to...
