The morphology- lytic or lysogenic- reveals the manner of how a phage infects the bacteria. If the phage is lytic, the phage fully lyses and kills the bacteria. If it is lysogenic, the phage integrates itself inside the bacteria’s genome and benefits from keeping it alive causing the phage to not destroy the entirety of bacteria.
The lack of results could have been because of low quality or quantity of DNA. So, redoing DNA isolation could help. Alternatively, we could use different restriction enzymes or a larger gel to read the cuts.
The siphoviridae morphology does not tell you how the phage could be used in drug therapy, but rather helps us understand the structure of the virus and how it affects the bacteria.
The other morphology of a phage is that it is lysogenic. A lysogenic phage benefits from keeping the bacteria alive, so it would not sufficiently get rid of all the bacteria.
Determining the phage morphology helps us understand the structure and behavior of how it infects the bacteria. In the broader context, a lytic morphology confirms that the phage can fully get rid of the bacteria and not leave any of that specific species alive.

What does the morphology of your phage reveal about its possible effectiveness in phage therapy?

Do you think there is anything else you could’ve done that would’ve allowed you to be able to place your phage in a cluster?

Does the siphoviridae morphology of your phage tell you anything about how the phage could be used in drug therapy or other initiatives?
The siphoviridae morphology does not tell you how the phage could be used in drug therapy, but rather helps us understand the structure of the virus and how it affects the bacteria.
If the results were not lytic, what would they be and what is their significance?
The other morphology of a phage is that it is lysogenic. A lysogenic phage benefits from keeping the bacteria alive, so it would not sufficiently get rid of all the bacteria.
Can you explain what the purpose of determining morphology is and how it fits into the broader context of your experiment and phage therapy overall?
