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

The RecT family is predominantly seen in the low-GC Gram-positive bacteria, such as Bacillus, Streptococcus, Lactococcus and Listeria, and their phages (Fig.
The cross reactive phages from the eluted phage were then subtracted by panning sequentially against human TNFR1, TNFα and TNFβ as a way to obtain peptides specific to the original target.
Thus, like the RecT/Redβ superfamily, the ERF family is likely to have emerged in the temperate phages, and was disseminated to the Borrelia circular plasmids and some bacterial genomes via prophages.
Previously, the RecT proteins have been known from very few bacteria and Redβ has only been detected in λ and closely related phages.
Thus, although bacterial genomes tend to acquire large amounts of DNA, we have shown that those transferred genes have very peculiar features that do not denote a previous genomic context but connect them with parasitic sequences such as phages.
