One of these organisms was used in a study that looked at the transport of pathogens, indicator bacteria, and other particles from top-soil to the supply of drinking water. Seymour Benzer used various strains of one of these organisms to develop his "r-two system," and another type of them was the first organism to have its entire nucleotide sequence determined.  Both phosphorus-32 and sulfur-35 were used to label different parts of these organisms in a 1952 experiment t

Both phosphorus-32 and sulfur-35 were used to label different parts of these organisms in a 1952 experiment that confirmed DNA as the genetic material, conducted by Hershey and Chase.  The T4 type of these organisms can be used as a biosorbent coupled with a bioluminescent ATP assay to detect and approximate the amount of E. coli. The most common type is the lambda, which reproduces via lysogeny. For 10 points, name these intracellular parasites which can reproduce via the lytic cycle, thus bursting their host bacteria.
