It is now recognized that phages are the most abundant biological entities on the planet. These viruses specifically infect bacteria and they play a key role in maintaining the balance of ecosystems. Phages are also excellent viral models applicable to various research areas. Bacteriophages can be both friends and foes. Friends since they suppress bacterial populations with harmful properties, including pathogenic bacteria. These phages can have industrial and medical applications as biocontrol agents. Foes because they can destroy bacteria that play an important role in food fermentations. The main goal of this CRC is to increase knowledge of phage biology.

现在人们认识到，噬菌体是地球上最丰富的生物实体。这些病毒专门感染细菌，它们在维持生态系统平衡方面发挥着关键作用。噬菌体也是很好的病毒模型，适用于各种研究领域。噬菌体既可以是朋友，也可以是敌人。因为它们抑制具有有害特性的细菌种群，包括病原体。这些噬菌体可作为生防剂在工业和医学上应用。敌人，因为他们可以摧毁在食物发酵中起重要作用的细菌。这项研究的主要目的是增加对噬菌体生物学的了解。
