Coliphage TuIa, which uses the OmpF protein as a receptor, can adapt by mutation to using instead the OmpC or LamB protein, or both. Most of the phage mutants retained the ability to use the OmpF protein, when present, but one class of mutants lost this ability and could only use the OmpC protein.
以OmpF蛋白作为受体的大肠杆菌噬菌体TuIa可以通过突变来适应转而使用OmpC蛋白或LamB蛋白,或者两者兼用。大多数噬菌体突变体在OmpF蛋白存在时仍保留使用该蛋白的能力,但有一类突变体失去了这种能力,只能使用OmpC蛋白。
