Question

How bacteriophage lambda carrying your gene of interest can introduced into the host cells.

Expert Solution

Step 1: Introduction

The viruses that infect and reproduce within bacteria are called bacteriophages. They are often referred to as phages. Escherichia coli (E. coli) bacteria are specifically targeted by the virus known as Bacteriophage Lambda. It can be used as a tool for the introduction of desired genes into host cells, such as E. coli. Transduction is the process of delivering the phage containing the desired gene into the host cells.
