A University of Otago–led team, with collaborators at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology, has resolved the 3D structure of Bas63, a bacteriophage that infects E. coli. Published in Science Advances (online on November 12, 2025; issue dated November 14, 2025), the work details rare tail features and could inform rational phage design for medical, agricultural, and industrial uses.
