Abstract
Most phages accomplish host lysis using a muralytic enzyme, or endolysin, and a holin, which permeabilizes the membrane at a programmed time and thus controls the length of the vegetative cycle. By contrast, lytic single-stranded RNA and DNA phages accomplish lysis by producing a single lysis protein without muralytic activity.Mesh：
