Yes there is! When looking at the EM image for the phage, details like the dimensions of the phage and the shapes would show details of belonging to a certain cluster of phages which would indicate the phage type.
Thank you! The next steps of researching it would benefit us in the sense of providing us with quality DNA that we can then code and administer to patientsl
Hello! First off, a prophage is simply a bacterial genome that has viral DNA integrated into it. Phage lysate is a concentrated liquid sample of a phage
Is there any way to narrow down the hypothesized phage type without looking at morphology?

Really good job! Now that you have isolated your phage successfully, what would be the benefits of the next steps you would take in researching it?

Hi! Could you please explain what a prophage is? Also what is a phage lysate? Thanks!
