Phage Library - We were able to isolate mutant T7 bacteriophage that have a smaller average capsid size and less variability in capsid size when compared to the wild type. - We were able to isolate mutant T4 bacteriophage that produce larger and smaller plaques, suggesting they have altered capsid size. - We developed a cesium chloride gradient protocol for isolating larger and smaller phage. Cholera - We were able to show that E. coli is capable of sensing Cholera and hypothesize that it does so through its SdiA protein. - We demonstrate induction of Lambda from lysogenic E. coli when exposed to Cholera. - We identified a protein, Amylase A, that disrupts Cholera's biofilm formation
