>one of the peopleit's a freshmen course made by HHMI to tell essentially highschoolers how to do actual semi-independent lab work, I did more as a tube washer in a protein lab. with vertebrate viruses, there's enough funding to image and categorize viruses by how they attack the cell down to the spike protein.
>Are we talking about the phages or giant viruses seen in algea for example.no, I'm talking about how phage change strategies within an order of magnitude of concentration, pic related
>virus contains coding for itself and its shell>sex pillus exists as its own transferable plasmid(other than m.smeg, also pic related coincidently)
>the key reason why all life still exists>just a claim>I have never seen halfway decent evidence of phages doing anything significant to bacteria in their natural habitat under normal conditionstake dirt (don't eat it)
sample some bacteria
grow a few carpets from single colonies
now, take some more dirt, filter it through a .2 micrometer filter and dilute it down till single viral particles are in suspension
spread that over your nicely growing carpets of bacteria (choose whatever media you think is the least "stressful" for them btw, if that's what you're concerned about)
boom, wherever it dies can be sampled, repeatedly selected to be more lytic (or lysogenic) in smaller titers until you've selected a concentration you're certain came from a single virion
perfect proof of wild, native, savage, phages killing your precious bacteria without any change other than a 0.2 micron filter
then you can sequence and categorize your wild virus
so extreme, selecting for a single bacterial colony and a single phage in order to duke it out.
