Large Phage Team

The focus of the Large Phage team is to make a cross section of phage sizes through the mutagenesis of T4 bacteriophage. Our main area of research was in making T4's already large capsid even larger, while maintaining phenotypic stability. This was done by taking the isolated large phage and observing there later generations to ensure that their phenotype is inherited.

We are creating a library of different size T7 bacteriophage capsids. This is accomplished by mutating the phage with a base analog and then isolating the smaller and bigger T7 phages. We are also establishing the relationship between the capsid size and the plaque size of certain phages.

As members of the phage purification group, we focus on the purification of bacteriophages and the preparation of ghost capsids. We have worked with several different methods of preparation and can manipulate the procedures to accommodate the type of phage and the capsid size of the mutants.
