Description


In this short episode of phage bites, we talk to Daan van der Berg, a PhD student at TU Delft.


Why do phages carry their own tRNA? He explains what tRNAs are and how phage uses them, and in turn how bacteria cleave and downregulate them to counterattack phage infections.


In the second part of the conversation, we also talk about his experience as a PhD student.


We hope you find it useful, enjoy!
