[Best of] Phages regulate bacteria growth on earth
Update: 2025-12-12
Description
Today’s story is a good example of how little we know about biology and life, and how we can use our knowledge to better fight diseases and environmental threats.
We are going to talk about bacteriophages or just fages. These are small viruses which attack bacteria. The story is literally about life and death and most organisms on earth are being killed every week.
We have covered this topic before but, but in this podcast we will go deeper into the substance and ask one of the current frontier researchers from the biocomplexity group at the Niels Bohr Institute in Copenhagen Namiko Mitarai Japan.
