Bas Dutilh We are thinking about making virus taxonomy more consistent with the rest of biology by introducing binomial species nomenclature. You know: genus name & species epithet. Do you have an opinion about this? Let us know: Paper | IC

Ael Hardy Has anyone successfully performed proteomics (LC-MS) on whole phage particles (not bands from SDS-PAGE gels)? Looking for alternative protocols as the one I have been trying has given me a hard time. — @ael_hardy, via Twitter

I am working on isolation and characterisation of marine phages for anti-bio fouling activity. Our lab has assessed the influence of chlorine on different marine microorganisms as well as barnacles, and now we are looking into use of marine

Emmanuel Nnadi, Plateau State University We have been attempting to get the titre of our phage but don't seem to know where we are getting it wrong. What's your preferred protocol? We use the double-layer plaque assay and a McFarlands stand
