Compare and contrast bacteriophage plaques with bacterial colonies.

Bacteriophage, Tail fibers affix to cell wall proteins. Viral DNA is infuse into host cell. No coating required. Biosynthesis in cytoplasm, Lysogeny. Host cell is lysed. 2) Animal: Attachment sites are plasma membrane proteins and glycoproteins. Capsid goes in by receptor-mediated endocytosis or fusion. Uncoating by enzymatic removal of capsid proteins. Biosynthesis in nucleus (DNA viruses) or cytoplasm (RNA viruses). Latency; slow viral infections; cancer. Released thru enveloped virus bud out; nonenveloped viruses rupture plasma membrane.
