Discrete long-range on-cell motion of bacteriophage T4
We study the interaction of the virus bacteriophage T4 with bacteria. By tagging fluorescent dyes to bacteriophage T4, we can follow the movement of individual viruses when they approach the bacteria, which revealed that these bacteriophages perform a long-range walking motion on the surface of the bacteria.
