嗜鞭毛噬菌体稳定性及生物学研究。这个项目旨在了解一种叫做噬菌体的病毒的能力。食品工业的重大经济损失导致美国和欧洲部署噬菌体来净化食品加工机械。这些噬菌体可以杀死破坏食物的细菌。该项目希望填补我们知识上的空白，特别是帮助选择稳定性更高、更持久的噬菌体，以便在工业环境中部署，并为噬菌体制剂的添加剂提供信息，以提高其杀灭细菌的效力。该项目将在培训学生和工作人员研究噬菌体的方法方面提供重大好处，以促进未来在澳大利亚工业和生物技术中的应用

An investigation into flagellotropic bacteriophage stability and biology. This project aims to understand the capabilities of a type of virus called bacteriophage (phage). Significant economic loss in the food industry has led the USA and Europe to deploy phage to decontaminate food-processing machinery. These phage kill food-spoiling bacteria. This project expects to fill gaps in our knowledge, particularly to assit in choosing phage that are of increased stability and thus more long-lasting for deployment in industrial settings, and to inform additives to the phage preparations to increase their potency in killing bacteria. The project should provide significant benefits in training students and staff in methodology for investigating phage for future applications in Australian industry and biotechnology.\n\n
