Personal Objectives

• • Construction of the phage production control system.

  In order to produce a grate amount of P4 phage particles that has our death system, we want to avoid the natural
  early lysis that occur when WT P4 and P2 interact. This avoidance will be achieved by taking the control of the two
  major regulators of P2 morphopoietic genes. The control systems that is going to be implemented is constituted by a 
  promoter inducible by IPTG () in conjunction with transactivators cox and ogr from phage P2. All this will allow 
  us to grow bacteria in grate quantities and induce lysis when ever we want and as a consequence obtation of grate
  amounts of P4 phage.

• • To obtain all the relevant experimental information about T7 and T3.

 Model validation needs some critical parameters like strain(C1a) growth rate and the T3 and T7 burst sizes. The 
 parameters found in the literature correspond to k12 strain however we used a k12 derivative strain, C1a, for this 
 reason it was indispensable to obtain experimentally a C1a growth plot. In the same way, simulations
 showed us that the burst size is a critical parameter to determine the efficiency of our system.

• • Generation of data to feedback the infection model.

 The experimental data would be used to feedback the model in order to obtain the most accurate model as possible.
