Characteristics of Viruses
• Extracellular state
• Called virion
• Protein coat (capsid) surrounding nucleic acid
• Nucleic acid and capsid, also called nucleocapsid
• Some have phospholipid envelope
• Outermost layer provides protection and recognition
sites for host cells
• Intracellular state
• Capsid removed
• Virus exists as nucleic acid

Viral Replication
• Dependent on hosts' organelles and enzymes to
produce new virions
• Lytic replication
• Viral replication usually results in death and lysis of host
cell
• Five stages of lytic replication cycle
• Attachment
• Entry
• Synthesis
• Assembly
• Release 10/21/2014 MDufilho 4

Viral Replication
• Lysogeny
• Modified replication cycle
• Infected host cells grow and reproduce normally for
generations before they lyse
• Temperate phages
• Prophages – inactive phages
• Lysogenic conversion
• Results when phages carry genes that alter phenotype of
a bacterium 10/21/2014 MDufilho 9

Culturing Viruses in the Laboratory
• Culturing Viruses in Mature Organisms
• Culturing viruses in bacteria
• Phages are grown in bacteria in liquid cultures or on agar
plates
• Lysis of bacteria produces plaques
• Allows estimation of phage numbers by plaque assay
