DNA ejection as a function of osmotic pressure for various wild-type species of bacteriophages for ionic conditions similar to the experiments of Evilevitch et al. (2003) (10 mM MgSO4). The lines show the DNA ejection behavior for T4, HK97, φ29, T7, and λ. Osmotic pressures as high as 35–55 atm are required to inhibit ejection in these bacteriophages.
