How can you use “bacteriophages” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

The majority of the domains with which the KilA-N and Bro-N domains combine in multidomain proteins are restricted to proteins encoded by temperate bacteriophages and large eukaryotic DNA viruses (the exceptions are a few domains that are common in cellular proteomes, such as HTH, CCCH and RING finger).
Both these domains are widely prevalent in bacteriophages, bacteria and large eukaryotic viruses of the NCLDV and baculovirus classes.
Recently, data obtained from genome sequencing projects have made it clear that bacteria exchange genetic information by means of transducing bacteriophages, conjugative plasmids, and natural transformation [ 18 ] at a much higher rate than previously thought [ 19 ] . There seem to be few insurmountable barriers to interspecies gene transfer, with transfers being documented between such diverse organisms as archea and eubacteria [ 20 ] . Synechococcus sp. [ 21 ] and some P. stutzeri strains [ 22 ] are two examples of the many bacterial species known to undergo natural transformation.
Such searches, with Redβ proteins from different lambdoid bacteriophages as queries, retrieved not only other obvious Redβ homologs, but also the RecT protein family.
Indeed, the vast majority of bacteriophages being still unknown, they might represent an enormous reservoir of such genes.
