Hi Jacob, the difference was we saw more DNA activity in lane 1 than lane 2. I am aware it is difficult to be able to tell. We start with 10 kb bands, then go to 3 kb, then 1.5 kb, and finally .5kb bands.
Hi Melina, Believe it or not, bacteriophages play a crucial role in many human diseases! In this case, phages can work to our benefit treating antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections.

Hi Hattie, as of right now, we have looked into pneumoniae and enterobacter species that do indeed report their host specificity and high efficacy of phage cocktails! Usually, there are more than two phage types combined.

Great presentation! My only question is what is the difference between your lane 1 and 2 for your gel electrophoresis experiment in figure 6?

How does this phage impact certain illnesses?

Great job! What are the positive applications of a lytic bacteriophage in treating infections, etc. versus a lysogenic phage?
Hi Alden, successful conventional phage therapy relies mainly on lytic phage, which kill or lyse their bacterial host.
What other phage types would you use in your phage cocktail if you were to continue experimenting?
