For their potential as biotherapeutic agents. Through this class, students learn more about . Mar 8, 2007 - Bacteriophages: Biology and Applications provides unparalleled, comprehensive information on bacteriophages and their applications in agriculture, human therapy, and biotechnology. Journal of Infection 36:5–15. €�We envision BAM influencing the prevention and treatment of mucosal infections seen in the gut and lungs, having applications for phage therapy and even directly interacting with the human immune system. Mar 6, 2013 - “Phage Hunters,” taught by Marie Pizzorno, biology department chair and associate professor of biology, and Emily Stowe-Evans, associate professor of biology, offers sophomores the unique opportunity to identify the genetic codes of bacteria-eating viruses through hands-on research in a classroom environment. The remaining four parts look at commercially important compounds produced by these microorganisms together with their applications. Dec 6, 2010 - Bacteriophages as biocontrol agents Bacteriophages represent one of the most abundant biological entities in nature and have long been recognized for their potential use as therapeutic agents. Throughout, the 9 Marine Bacteriophages for the Biocontrol of Fish and Shellfish Diseases 161. As one resolution of the great plaque count anomaly, we use propagation in ultra-dilute agarose gels to isolate a Bacillus In Bacteriophages: Biology and Applications. Phages and their application against drug-resistant bacteria. Boca Raton, FL: CRC Press; 2005:129-163. Jul 18, 2013 - However, after the discovery of penicillin and other antibiotics the research into the use of phages was abandoned in the West but its application continues in Eastern Europe, particularly in Georgia. Jan 15, 2013 - Bacteriophages show promise as antimicrobial agents. May 20, 2013 - Mucus may be slimy and gross, but a San Diego State University research team, led by Jeremy Barr, a biology post-doctoral fellow, has discovered that it is also home to a powerful immune system that could change the way doctors treat a number of diseases. Feb 26, 2007 - The number of successful propagations/isolations of soil-borne bacteriophages is small in comparison to the number of bacteriophages observed by microscopy (great plaque count anomaly). Edited by Kutter E, Sulakvelidze A. Jan 27, 2014 - Sequencing the genome allowed researchers to identify the gene for lysin, an enzyme that the virus uses to kill bacterial cells, that has potential use as an antibiotic or disinfecting agent. Deliberately breaking with the classical biology-centered description of marine organisms and their products, this reference emphasizes microbial technology over basic biology, setting it apart from its predecessors. The recent approval for the use of phages of Listeria monocytogenes for food safety purposes has increased the impetus of phage research to uncover phage-mediated applications with activity against other food pathogens.
