How many phage species remain undiscovered?
We worked with some great mathematicians , who go some way to trying to answer this.

@Akis_BeCool brought this collaboration together.
Amazing achievement, congratulations @milja001
And the team @Leicester_Phage
Plaque-2-sequence makes phage characterisation accessible and scalable.

@milja001 discussing the work done at @Leicester_Phage centre
Check out Dr Andrew Millard discussing the latest collection of phages from Dudley Zoo animals on Midlands Today. It's not to be sniffed at! Clip at 04:53

Want to find new lytic phages .... then obviously look in bacterial genomes !!! Led by
@TSPKU , with @MarthaClokie @panagouras3 , @bentpetersen and many many others...

Excited to share my PhD findings! We discovered that air #pollution alters the biofilm formation of #bee gut commensal Snodgrassella and disrupts the bumblebee gut #microbiome - highlighting new environmental impacts on pollinators and microbial ecology.

Why @Leicester_Phage - alongside our phage colleagues globally, are doing the work we do articulated in 30 seconds!
One of the major problems facing humanity is the inability to treat bacteria that make us sick.
Prof @MarthaClokie and her Centre for Phage Research team are studying bacteriophages to combat this growing issue.

we are trying to get E. coli - GI826 - the kit it used to be sold in, is no longer available. If anybody has any in freezer ?

Today we are hosting our first year anniversary event in @Leicester_Phage with a great programme and speakers. Our aim is to forge stronger interactions with scientists across different disciplines.
Great talks by @abhinavsct @Rachael23711964 Ed Galyov on structural biology, peptides and endolysins.
@MarthaClokie opened the day and I discussed about preclinical pipelines in #phage therapy for #lung disease @Leicester_Phage
