Two intensive sampling periods of oyster-associated vibrio and their phage, 4 years apart, and many surprises. Despite being washed by the Atlantic, wide tides, and vibrio (almost?) disappearing most of the year, we can find the exact same virulent phages 4 years later (down to 0 SNP)! preprint👇

Do you have any “published” E. coli phage? and willing to share for academic research?

most phages from yr 1980-2015 ish aren’t even available to researchers. they are either lost bcz of not sharing or archiving in registries.
