Students isolate novel bacteriophage from the environment and characterize those phage using current research techniques including electron microscopy and DNA analysis. The genomic DNA from some of ...

The idea is to use viruses known as phages or bacteriophages, which only infect bacteria and specifically eliminate ... We ...

Researchers found hundreds of viruses that prey on bacteria on toothbrushes and showerheads. They’re unlikely to pose a ...

thereby protecting the bacteriophage genome from destruction, and regulate the transcription of Acr itself to prevent a decrease in bacteriophage fitness due to excessive Acr expression.

Researchers have enabled the effective selection of phages based on the genome of the bacteria they want to target, helping ...

Professor Alice Roberts talks bacteriophages: viruses that infect ... to classify the entire world’s species according to their DNA. Bristol researchers have discovered that it is more than ...

Demand for synthetic DNA is growing across multiple industries including cell and gene therapy development and biomanufacturing. Coupled with that growth is a need for genetic constructs that can ...

Founder@Hoxton VC. Bacteriophage. A bacteriophage is constituted of a proteic envelope (called capsid), containing its ... [+] nucleic acid (DNA or RNA), and a tail. The tail includes a collar ...

A novel new test for bacteria in fluids makes it as easy as observing a color change to confirm the presence of ...
