2 Figure 1 Transmission of a Phage to a New Bacterium Mediated by an Intermediate Host A point mutation that changes adenine (blue) to guanine (green) in the phage tail fiber region facilitates the adaptation of the phage to a new bacterial host. In step 1, phages with adenine on their tail fiber are released from the original bacterial host in blue. These phages then infect the intermediate bacterial host (gray), where the adenine to guanine mutation takes place (step 2), allowing these modified phages to infect the new bacterial hosts that were initially resistant (brown).
