Introduction

UBC iGEM is working on degrading a Staphylococcus aureus biofilm. The Biofilm sub-team has created a growth curve plotting the biofilm growth of S. aureus RN4220 and 8325-4 strains to test the effectiveness of the phage contruct. RN4220 is a S. aureus strain without a prophage and 8325-4 is a S. aureus strain that has been cured of phage phi11, phi12, and phi13; both strains were selected for their susceptibility to phage phi 13. The biofilm data has been incorporated by the Modelling sub-team into their simulation for the effect of the phage construct on Staphylococcus aureus biofilm growth to further our understanding of our results.
