Recently, we had our 25th lab annual camping trip ! This year, we went to the fantastic Parc National de la Jacques Cartier. Over 40 people (current+former members+families) attended. Always a great lab activity ! #phage #bacteriophagebunker

1/2 🧀 Get ready for a "cheesy" science adventure ! Frank Oechslin et al. have uncovered a fascinating story about Streptococcus thermophilus #phage endolysins. These enzymes have adapted to the high temperatures of cheesemaking by utilizing the calcium found in milk.

2/2 Not only have dairy practices influenced bacterial evolution, but they have also shaped the evolution of phages, favoring the emergence of virulent phages with heat-resistant endolysins.
