⚡️For this months issue of the Phage Collection Project Blog we are really grateful to have had @atifmicro.bsky.social discuss how we could use phages to tackle biofouling in power plants. Make sure to check it out using the link below! #PhageCollectionBlog www.phage-collection.org/blog/1pd6hdm...

50 years after its discovery, the role of the T7 kinase is finally revealed - shielding the phage against a wide variety of bacterial immune systems. Very interesting work from the Savitski & Typas labs

Finally out! Phage therapy for diabetic foot ulcers www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
