Adam Arkin is one of the investigators on the research team led by Vivek Mutalik, a research scientist in Berkeley Lab’s Environmental Genomics and Systems Biology (EGSB) Division, studying a new approcah that can reveal which bacterial receptors phages exploit to infect the cell, as well as what cellular mechanisms the bacteria use to respond to a phage infection. This new genetic approach can accelerate the study of phage-microbe interactions with implications for medicine development, agricultural research, and climate science.
