Phirst Phage Photos The first microphs are in, and they look great! Our first phage images feature viruses that infect Bacillus thuringiensis and viruses that infect Streptomyces scabiei. Here are some of their portraits:

Bacillus phages

Manimandiram                   
(Kerala, India)                    


BadBunnyBaby
(Baguio City, Philippines)



Streptomyces phages

Slytherin                            
(Fulton, MD)                      


Blululu
(UMBC)
