[edit] Request for expansion

T4 is an important virus, especially in the field of genetics. Please expand this article if you have any more relevant information. Thanks. Mushin ^talk 17:13, 12 January 2006 (UTC) and has multi spherical sides and shapes to it it also has more strands of dna in it th

[edit] T4 infects O157:H7

I don't think this is true, and it should probably be deleted. See here: J Biomed Sci. 1998 Sep-Oct;5(5):370-82. Characterization of a phage specific to hemorrhagic Escherichia coli O157:H7 and disclosure of variations in host outer membrane protein ompC. Yu et al.

I think that in its interesting features it should just say "It infects E. coli" with a proper citation until a verifiable source for E.coli O157:H7 can be found. Any objections? Alfonso Muñoz-Pomer Fuentes 06:20, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

The phage is supposed to inject its DNA into the bacterial cell, according to the information given here. if it needs energy for that, the in must have some source of energy, like, say, ATP. but it does not have any organelles at all! how can it inject the DNA into the host? Please update this. it would be better if this article was expanded.

[edit] purpose and origin data please

there is nothing here on what it does in a given body and where it comes from, someone please supply this page with more data relevant to this please. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Murakumo-Elite (talk • contribs) 06:06, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
