other than being able to know what it is, why would further classification be necessary? could there be another use for this phage besides therapeutic purposes?
Further classification is necessary to determine if it is a novel phage, and also classifying would help because it would be classified into a family which could tell you what bacteria it is most likely most effective against. There are not any other uses that I know of.
Nicely done! Are there any therapeutic uses for temperate phages? If lytic phages fail to successfully treat an infection, could temperate phages be used at all?

The purpose of this investigation was to identify and analyze a novel phage and see if it would be an ideal candidate for phage therapy.

If your group was to go back and get a new sample of soil, would you stay in the exact same location or widen the area?

We would stay in the same area because we know that phage exist there. We just need more high quality and quantity DNA.

Are there any potential medical uses for temperate phage?

There isn’t for temperate phages but they can be genetically modified to be lytic by removing the repressor and integrase proteins.
