Bacteriophage T7, a virus that preys on E. coli, becomes a more effective killer after spending time aboard the International Space Station, according to new research from University of ...

Researchers in the Raman Lab at UW recently published a study discussing sending microbes into space at the International Space Station to evaluate how mutations induced by microgravity may impact ...

F. William Studier, Senior Scientist Emeritus at Brookhaven National Laboratory, in 2004. In the 1980s, Studier and a team of collaborators deciphered key details of the T7 bacteriophage and turned ...

As bacteria become increasingly (and worryingly) resistant to antibiotics, scientists are recruiting bacteriophages—a bacteria’s sworn evolutionary enemy—to fight against these troublesome “superbugs.

If there was any doubt that viruses are basically microscopic machines, let this recreation of a T7 bacteriophage infecting an ecoli cell put those reservations to rest. In this animated video, the ...
