It is abnormal because a lot of the phages that had similar EM images had tails that were in two parts but a lot of them only had one tail part so many it makes it less or more effective at infecting the bacteria.
I understand that inducing the lytic cycle from a temperate phage makes it more potent, and therefore more useful in phage therapy. How would you go about knocking out the intergrase protein? Gene knock-out or other methods?
Where did you find your phage?
We found it in the soil sample in boulder. This is the exact location 40(deg)0’34.6″N,-105(deg)16’09.09″W
What type of bacteriophage was this experimented on?
Siphoviridae
Hey Logan! I really enjoyed your presentation! I was wondering what the significance of your phage’s two tails is? Is this abnormal?

Probably gene knockout, This was just research that Graham Hatfull is trying at the University of Pittsburgh.
