This is interesting (I think). I just did a search on PubMed on "Phage Ecology" OR "Bacteriophage Ecology" and I receiving a whopping total of only 36 hits. So 'nobody' seems to use this phrasing, at least not prominently. Hmmm ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?ter…
Yes, I know I keep pushing my phage therapy special issue, being published in the open-access, MDPI journal, Pharmaceuticals. This post is just to note that their rates are going up for submissions... mdpi.com/journal/pharmaceuti…
Just the press release, and only read-between-the-lines phage ecology, but I thought that this was pretty cool. news.rutgers.edu/bacteria-ma…
Another publication in the special issue. We are now up to nine articles, with intention to publish at least a few more. Do continue to consider submitting, regardless of what the website says regarding a deadline. :-)... mdpi.com/1424-8247/12/1/43
A little something more on phage therapy, hot off the presses. :-) atlasofscience.org/phage-the…
Here is the next installment of our still (very slowly) developing phage therapy special issue, published in the journal, Pharmaceuticals. There should be still more articles to come, and if you have a desire to still submit one, just... mdpi.com/1424-8247/12/1/35
We're getting pretty close to my promotion being a reality. Here is my promotion talk, videoed as a practice talk from the day before the real talk was given. I didn't want to distract myself during the actual talk by videoing it as well. This was... youtu.be/MRQnbHozPHM
So it turns out that the Cell paper is not the first to discover quorum sensing genes in phages, something that we would already know about had they done their due (freaking) diligence in their (freaking) literature search!!!!! <sigh> ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2447…
More on viruses, communication, and host cell density: "A Host-Produced Quorum-Sensing Autoinducer Controls a Phage Lysis-Lysogeny Decision" The journal it's published in is... theatlantic.com/science/arch…
Yes, the phage therapy annotated glossary still exists. :-) And, yes, I'm still working on it. This version has my just-added Eclipse and Release entries. Eclipse because I was just reading something... phage-therapy.org/postings/P…
Doing a periodic updating of the phage companies page. What am I missing? What needs to be updated? companies.phage.org/
Here's a U.S.-located (Washington DC) phage meeting for this January. I alas will not be there, but I know of a number of phage therapy people who indeed will be there. Its dates are January 29 and 30. The advertised goal is... phage-futures.com/events/pha…
I've been busy updating the list of phage therapy and phage therapy-related references. This task is never trivial, but here is a PDF of every journal article, book, and book chapter I've been able to... phage-therapy.org/literome/P…
A little history. (I just now came upon this during my annual attempt to get on top of the phage therapy literature...) link.springer.com/content/pd…
Updating of the phage.org videos page, adding the videos that I made last Summer as well as the video I posted here a few(?) months back. If you know of any reasonably high quality videos that do a good job discussing general aspects of... phage.org/phage_videos.html
Did some updating of the Wikipedia Phage Monographs page this morning. Anything obvious that is fully published that is missing? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phage_…
