🏠 About the Bacteriophage Ecology Group

The Bacteriophage Ecology Group — named after The Phage Group of Phages and the Origins of Molecular Biology fame — exists as a means of organizing the bacteriophage ecology community, fostering communication, identifying others with complementary interests, and, in general, empowering the science of phage ecology.

🧮 Phage Calculators — the Core of phage.org

The centerpiece of phage.org is a growing suite of online calculators for phage biology, phage therapy, and teaching. These tools let you compute adsorption constants, burst sizes, multiplicity of infection, one-step growth parameters, titers, and much more — directly in your browser, no software to install.

✍️ Phage Takes

Phage Takes are longer, essay-style reads on bacteriophage biology and phage therapy, adapted from writings by Steve Abedon and others. Unlike the concise term definitions at terms.phage.org, each Take explores a topic at greater length — tracing its context, implications, and connections to related ideas, with inline links to relevant phage terms and calculators throughout.
