P1 phage is a type of bacteriophage, which is a virus that specifically infects bacteria. It is a member of the Podoviridae family and is known to infect Escherichia coli (E. coli) bacteria. P1 phage is of particular interest in molecular biology and genetics due to its ability to facilitate the transfer of genetic material between bacterial cells, effectively serving as a vector for gene cloning and genetic manipulation.
