I choose to pick a sample from a spot on CU where I spend a lot of time. It was surprising to see that our phage was a temperate phage, because most phages are lytic phages.
I choose to pick my sample from a location that I spend a lot of time at on campus. I was surprised to find that we had a temperate phage because lytic phage are way more common.

Do you know some characteristics that the A1 clusters have other than the restriction enzymes? And what would it mean if your bacteriophage belonged in the A1 cluster?
Some other common characteristics of the A1 cluster phages are that they are siphoviridae and are temperate phages, and we found that the phage we isolated had both of these characteristics. Classifying our phage as A1 provides researchers who may use or phage in future experiments our phage therapy with information about the phage that they can use to pick which phages to use.
Some other common characteristics of A1 phages are that tend to be siphoviridae and temperate phages, and our phage shared both of these characteristics. Classifying our phage as A1 would provided future researchers with information on our phage so they could see if our phage would be useful in their research or phage therapy.

Which bacteria would you be most interested in testing your phage on in the future?
LikeLike
I would be interested in testing them on E.coli or tuberculosis because these bacteria are harmful to humans and are closely related to M.smeg.

What is the significance of the restriction enzymes you tested for in this experiment/how did you choose them?
LikeLike
The restriction enzymes were provided to us, everyone in our lab used the same restriction enzymes.
