Harnessing Nature’s Own Virus: Bacteriophages as a Sustainable Solution for Biofouling — ThePhageCollectionProject Our understanding of viruses was expanded as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, and as a result, we frequently consider viruses to be exclusively harmful organisms. Phages, also known as bacteriophage...

⚡️For this months issue of the Phage Collection Project Blog we are really grateful to have had @atifmicro.bsky.social discuss how we could use phages to tackle biofouling in power plants. Make sure to check it out using the link below!
