| Naming Notes | My research into this phage had been done alongside me reading my favorite book series “Dune” and figured I’d name my phage after a mystical currency used in the series. The word itself also means mixture and this phage will hopefully allow more research to be done in phage therapy to eventually find a better cure for a mix of illnesses such as tuberculosis. |
