Phage-encoded Shiga toxin (Stx) functions as a bacterial defense against the eukaryotic predator protozoa or how it kills them. exotoxins will also be found only on temperate bacteriophages. Incubation of with purified Stx2 decreases total protein synthesis. This getting indicates that much like mammalian cells Stx2 kills by inactivating its ribosomes. IMPORTANCE is definitely a… Continue reading Phage-encoded Shiga toxin (Stx) functions as a bacterial defense against the
