Question
George Smith and Greg Winter developed a technology that uses these biological agents for the directed evolution of novel antibodies. The genome of one of these species, named MS2, was the first to be completely sequenced and contains just 4 genes. Seymour Benzer discovered the cistron through his work on the rapid lysis II mutant of one of these species. A ‘moron’ is a gene with no advantage to one of these organisms produced during its (*) lysogenic life cycle. These biological agents provided selective pressure in the Luria-Delbrück experiment, which demonstrated that genetic mutations in bacteria are random. That experiment used the T1 type of these agents which also have a ‘lambda’ type. These viruses have been proposed as a treatment for multidrug-resistant bacteria. For 10 points, what viruses are named for their ability to infect and ‘eat’ bacteria? ■END■
