In this article we will discuss about the morphology and multiplication of T-Even phages. The dsDNA tailed phages of Caudovirales account for 95% of all the phages reported. Phages are classified by the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) according to morphology and nucleic acid as given in Table 18.1. There are three even-numbered T-phages (e.g. T2, T4 and [...]

In this article we will discuss about the structure of viruses. 1. Viruses are much smaller than bacteria. A virus parÂticle is called virion. The virions vary widely in size.
