#Industrial #microbiology is a highly interesting topic of #EUROmicroMOOC (in fact all are highly interesting! 😀). Did you know what #microorganisms do besides being pathogenic? #welovemicrobiology #MicroMol

Carefully use #antibiotics and help us detecting #bacteriophages as an important #alternative against #multiresistant #bacteria. We welcome any sample of wet material from special, non-everyday areas (such as mud from the rainforest).

[MicroMol_Lab @MicroMol_Lab]

@Tentamus congrats!

What a great picture of our #pets #Bacteriophages

Sorry about that. One is lost acc. to the owner.

Was a great evening being #teacher at #EUROmicroMOOC.

Do you have any question about our lesson “Bacteriophages”? Ask directly to your teacher @MicroMol_Lab #EUROmicroMOOC

Want to learn how to work with #Phages? Let us meet at the 4th International hands-on PHAGE BIOTECHNOLOGY course in Braga-Portugal.

The world first prospective multicentric, randomised, single blinded and controlled clinical trial of #phage therapy ever performed according to GMP and GCP ended in 2017. Phage community is looking forward to see the results.

#Phage therapeutical preparations require rigorous #biosafety assessment. Parameters like #microbial #purity, #cytotoxicity, #pyrogenicity, #identity, #host range and #stability must be tested before use on patients.

The #phage phiX174 was the first "organism" to have its entire nucleotide sequence determined, a feat that was accomplished by Frederick Sanger and colleagues in 1977.

In 1943 Luria and Delbrück in their famous experiment using #phage T1 and E. coli cultures proved that genetic mutations arise in the absence of selection, rather than being a response to selection.

The genetic material is so densely packed in viron heads that a preassure of tens of atmospheres is exerted on the inner capsid walls.

#Phages are so specific to their hosts that they can be used for strain differentiation within one species using a method called phage typing.
#MicroMol #Tentamus #Laboratory #EUROmicroMOOC https://t.co/MxlfMDAcxU

[SEM @SEMicrobiologia]

#Phages recognize their hosts by protein structures that perfectly match the receptors on the cell surface of #bacteria.
#MicroMol #Tentamus #Laboratory #EUROmicroMOOC

[SEM @SEMicrobiologia]

"Virus burst size” is a term describing the number of released virions from single bacterial cell after lysis. Usually about 100 - 1000 phages are produced in a single cell.

[SEM @SEMicrobiologia]

To avoid overkilling of their host #Phages communicate via small proteins that are discharged during lysis of the #bacteria . With increasing concentrations phages become lysogen instead of lytic, what helps stabilizing the bacterial culture.
#MicroMol #Laboratory #EUROmicroMOOC"

[SEM @SEMicrobiologia]

Researchers have found that some #Phages can communicate. They produce and sense chemical signals and thus can decide whether to kill or keep their hosts alive.
