Abstract excerpt
We have evaluated an adaptive strategy for generating whole-virus vaccines using a bacteriophage model. Wildtype phage T7 was cultivated in a two-stage continuous stirred-tank reactor (CSTR) utilizing a recombinant E. coli host that constitutively expressed T7 RNA polymerase, an essential enzyme of the early viral metabolism. Over the course of 180 generations a diversity of phage variants emerged, outgrew the...
