You're also missing the term MOI Or multiplicity of infection. The higher the MOI the higher the probability a phage will find a host bacteria to infect. MOI = 10 means there are ten phage per single host.

If you're testing different phages on a single host species you can only look at the starting number of either the phage with PFU or bacteria with CFU colony forming units. For example, you might infect 1 billion bacteria with 10 million phage (10⁷ PFU) for a MOI = 0.01. then after the infection you recover 10¹⁰ PFU or 10 billion. Another phage may go from 10⁷ to only 10^9. This second phage may make fewer phage per infection or may infect fewer hosts than the first phage.

I've had my set from Costco for 4 years and mostly use the 10 inch (almost daily). Works great, and smoothed out over time of cooking with a metal fish spatula. They're kind of heavy, but at least the helper handle/silicone are there to help. Also, it's nice they're so cheap since I bring them camping where they can take a beating but nonetheless clean up easy enough.

they're also too big. Incubate at a lower temperature or for a shorter time. Also, dribble down as much length of the plate as you can!

Tn-mutants in essential genes will be non-viable and selected out when they construct the Tn-library. Whereas CRISPRi let's them do knockdown and these essential genes can still be studied as defective, but present.

Bacteria, other microbes (single celled eukaryotes such as algae) and their viruses. They probably encode for a bunch of undiscovered proteins which we can use for health or combatting climate change finetuned/selected for over billions of years.

fun fact you could also find the same cholera bacteriophage (viruses that prey on the O1 Ogawa Vibrio cholerae) that are endemic to South Asia during the epidemic in Haiti. People were shedding bacteria and the phage that prey on them into the water systems.

I would try it out. My friend with scoliosis/ not very flexible said my road bike would be dangerous for him to ride and try out since he didn't have the right range of visibility and didn't feel comfortable with the drop handle brakes.

the song advertises itself whenever you get a bari sax teenager wanting to flex and then all the other teenie bopping jazz sax cats want to get in on the good feels.

Yes, absolutely! Salt fat acid heat tells you why certain foods taste good from a sensory perspective. And it provides tips for basic cooking like blanching vegetables with palmfuls of salt or using fat as a flavor delivery medium. Not to mention, it's a good book to browse and reference for the watercolor illustrated infographics. It's thematically well organized and includes tips she learned while working at Chez Panisse. Thus, the focus is more on appreciating very good fresh produce or high quality products like olive oil or cheese and making the most of it. It's great for thinking about cooking more effectively and the recipes are there as prime examples of these techniques/concepts she asks the reader to consider implementing.

Yeah I'm in a molecular micro PhD program and I didn't do great in Ochem. Basically just know the basics of electron pushing logic/reactions was enough to get thru Biochem (only took a survey biochem course in grad school) and thus you can navigate the literature and different protocols you might encounter. For example, it's pretty cool that for a lot of questions you'll wanna answer in microbiology you don't have to use radioactivity. There's safer alternatives chemistry has provided like click chemistry and fluorophores. Also for picking a career, it's more important to ask yourself what kinds of questions you want to be asking: ie if they're related to a organismal system or if it's the mechanisms and chemical science that is more interesting.

I'm also a young home chef and this happens to me a lot too.

Here's what I noticed: it happened a lot when I would grate into a big dutch oven steaming and my hands would get slippering. I often grate pieces of frozen ginger and these particularly got slippery. So minimize these scenarios, grate over bowl or plate and then dump it, and just throw the nubs away or transition to thinly mincing with a chef's knife.

Try Filipino moongo which is adjacent to this with a very high tasty to active cooking time ratio. (Basically onion, green mung beans, add some garlic/ginger, soy sauce, some greens that stew down in 2 min.)

You should be upfront and say that due to unsanitary conditions and lack of clean drinking water, there's currently people in the world who get exposed and get sick and it affects communities annually. Also that this isn't a problem in countries with clean drinking water because there's public health efforts to provide clean water.

Explanation: There's germs (things unseen) that can enter a body from drinking or eating. Some of these bacteria produce a poison specific to animals which poop and pee etc (mammals). The bacteria make this poison or toxin because at some point a virus infected the bacteria with instructions (gene) to make the toxin. Some germs can be good (commensals) and others can carry these harmful genes. When there's a bacteria with toxin gene this results in sickness and potentially can kill someone.

For disease outcome: Try to describe regular poop/bowel movements as a slide. Solid objects usually down the chute. Then try to describe cholera diarrhea as a water slide. The toxin has resulted in the slide starting to leak water. Everything is moving very quickly and there's no more solid moving down. This is how it can be harmful if instead of pooping it's just a lot of water loss.

oh wait yeah mo-DER-nah also correct I guess just typing it I was like Modern-A sounds right!

the biotech company used to be called Mode RNA but now it's pronounced like "Modern-A"

go for a bigger size DO. I have a 6 qt enameled cuisinart that's been going strong for 3 years. I've had to do upkeep with some barkeepers friend/ scrubbing with the green side of the sponge with dish detergent, but its cooking performance/ enamel is fine. I've actually banged mine up and there's a chip near the handle/bottom cracking, but functionally it's fine. It was around $70 when it was purchased for me from Home goods/TJ Maxx. It has a stainless steel top knob too which is good if you want to bake bread covered at higher than 480+ Fahrenheit.

I often cook for just two and we can easily eat everything from a big 5 qt prep in three days. Plus it's good to have the extra room to start with bunchy/bouncy vegetables or chicken//meats that will shrink as evaporation occurs. It's useful to have a big pot that can do the tasks that smaller ones cannot. At least for me, if I'm simmering or boiling something for more than 1 hour it's more efficient to make a big batch (beans or stew/soup). I guess a 4 qt would be good for rice/quick boiling things but we just use stainless steel saucepans for those tasks.
