Extracellular Interaction of <i>Bacillus thuringiensis</i>, ATP and Phage 0105phi7-2: A Potential New Anti-Bacterial Strategy

The following hypothesis proposes non-diffusive, environmental bacteriophage (phage) motion. (1) Some phage-hosting, motile bacteria undergo chemotaxis down ATP concentration gradients to escape lysis-inducing conditions, such as phage infection. (2) Some phages respond by non-infective binding to t...
