Beepo would not be used for phage therapy right now however it has interacted with bacteria like M.Smeg which was used to show the presence of the phage. So depending on the bacteria it could interact in different ways.
I am not completely clear about your question, but we joined this lab knowing one day it could possibly be used to help cure diseases and help the scientific and medical community. By the help of our professors and TA’s we were able to find a phage and go through this process.

for future experiments, do you have any predictions about how your phage would interact with a bacteria given its known structure and properties?

How does the phage attach onto the cell?

The phage attaches on to the cell by using proteins in the “tail” and it binds to a receptor then pushes the DNA into the cell.

This is a cool to hear about, I know it wasn’t necessary info but, how’d you come up with this idea?
