SEA-PHAGES: BIOL 4994 - Undergrad Research
Term: Spring 2018, starting Jan 16, 2018
Primary Instructor: Stephanie Voshell
Type: In situ (phage discovery/microbiology)
Hosts used: Mycobacterium smegmatis
Number of students: 2
Seniors: 2
Meetings per week: 2
Hours per week: 3.0
Students who have completed Phage Hunters 1 and 2 will work on an independent research project. The primary goal of the research is to separate a mixed phage lysate. After isolating the phage they will verify the results with PCR and re-characterize each phage and update PhagesDB with their results.
