The initial binding of phage P22 to its host, Salmonella typhimurium, is dependent in a linear fashion on the number of tail parts per phage head. (The normal head has six.) There is also a later step which depends on tail parts. This step must occur some time after hydrolysis of the O antigen has been initiated and before ejection of phage DNA from the head is complete. This step causes PFU to depend on approximately the third power of the number of tail parts per head.
噬菌体P22与其宿主鼠伤寒沙门氏菌的初始结合以线性方式依赖于每个噬菌体头部的尾部数量。(正常头部有六个。)还有一个后期步骤也依赖于尾部。这个步骤必须在O抗原水解开始后的某个时间发生,并且在噬菌体DNA从头部完全喷出之前。这个步骤导致噬菌斑形成单位(PFU)大约依赖于每个头部尾部数量的三次方。
