Abstract
By way of example of interaction of T4 bacteriophage with E. coli bact erium the scenario of enhancement of sorption of phages on bacteria th rough the remote mechanism of their cyclic interaction has been consid ered. An enlargement of the typical phage size, when its fibrillae are opened, underlies this mechanism. Modification of the structure of ph ages also occurs through the medium by release of products of bacteria l metabolism into it. Allied questions related to investigation of phy siocochemical and biological processes, which require to take into acc ount ''fluffing'' of microparticles. The medium-induced change of volu me of microparticles leads to spacial cooperative effects with non-lin ear dynamics. Such phenomena are possible in all diffusional processes in biology, chemistry and physics.
