ResponsibilitiesBacteriophages are the viruses of bacteria and have the capacity to reproduce them selves within a bacterial population through a cycle of infection and bacterial lysis. In particular cases, phages can integrate their genetic material within the host cell and thrive within the bacterial population awaiting favorable conditions for renewed lytic phage reproduction. The overall project aims to exploit a number of phage features to reprogram bacterial populations for controlled bioprocessing in a bioreactor. Profile
