In an unprecedented workaround, biologist Bryan Hsu's team engineered bacteria-eating viruses called phages to infect and reprogram bacterial cells to produce and release a sustained flow of a ...

Phages are viruses that attack bacteria by injecting their DNA, then usurping bacterial machinery to reproduce. Eventually, they make so many copies of themselves that the bacteria burst.

Discover the hidden world around you! Join your classmates and other student-scientists from schools all across the U.S. and beyond in a hunt for phages — viruses that infect bacteria. Day1: Phage ...

They performed density gradient centrifugation to separate phages from bacterial lysates and found that the bacteria that expressed Bil produced a higher density band in the gradient. When the ...

"Conducting research through the SEA-PHAGES program was the first time in my academic career where I felt what I learned in ...
