This kit utilizes a rapid spin column method to purify total DNA from a wide range of bacteriophages cultured in liquid-grown bacteria. Phenol, chloroform, or cesium chloride banding techniques are ...

This important study analyzes the effect of heat treatment on phage-bacterial interactions and convincingly shows that prior heat exposure alters the bacterial cell envelope, enhancing persistence and ...

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 ...

If you're interested in participating in the phage research course, we encourage you to apply! Please also ask a teacher to fill out our easy recommendation form (no formal letter of recommendation ...

Viruses known as “jumbo phage” are a new hope against the rising antibacterial infection crisis. Researchers have discovered ...

says Modell. The Johns Hopkins investigators say bacteria have long been known to use CRISPR-Cas systems to chop up phage DNA, break it down and get rid of it. Crucially, CRISPR systems can only ...

John McCafferty, Cambridge Institute of Therapeutic Immunology and Infectious Disease Additionally, because the protein would be bound to the bacteriophage with the inserted DNA, the product and ...

“I’m expecting tens of millions of species,” said Evelien Adriaenssens, a phage biologist at the Quadram ... are encoded either in double-stranded DNA or single-stranded RNA.

Phage therapy exploits the fact that bacteriophages specifically infect certain variants of bacteria, multiply within them, and ultimately destroy them. During this process, new bacteriophages are ...

Their potential as antibacterial agents was appreciated almost immediately, with the first 'phage therapy' trials predating Fleming's discovery of penicillin by approximately a decade. In this ...
