| Tóm tắt: | If all things have to have a beginning, then the beginning of this monograph, arguably, can be
traced to the 1980s in the laboratory of Harris Bernstein (Department of Microbiology and
Immunology, University of Arizona). That was the lab that both of us joined to do our Ph.D.
research and where we met. Though we worked on separate projects, both involved phages
and this led to many discussions. Thus the team began. At er graduating we went our separate
ways. While S.T.A. dabbled in what eventually would be all things phage ecological, P.H.
followed a much more molecular, then medical, then applied route, but ultimately returned to
phage biology and what would be a series of collaboration with S.T.A., starting in 2001. The
story of how this monograph came to be is slightly more complicated, however.
S.T.A. – at the time at the beginning of his career at the Ohio State University, in 1995 –
founded what would become the Bacteriophage Ecology Group. His management of the
associated web site (phage.org, though see also archaealviruses.org) began to lead to chapter
invitations in the early 2000s, resulting in part in his contributing to the editing of Rich
Calendar’s The Bacteriophages 2/e, which was published in 2006. Very soon at er S.T.A.’s
contribution to that monograph ended he was invited to edit a monograph on phage ecology,
which would become the 2008 Bacteriophage Ecology (Cambridge University Press), included in
which was a chapter we coauthored.
Meanwhile, speculators brought down the world’s economy, hit ing academic publishers
quite hard. The series that Bacteriophage Ecology had been a part of, Advances in Molecular and
Cellular Microbiology, was sold to CABI Press (cabi.org), ‘a not-for-profi t international organization
that improves people’s lives by providing information and applying scientifi c expertise to solve problems
in agriculture and the environment.’ It was 100% their idea to do the current monograph and,
based on his experience with the Bacteriophage Ecology volume, S.T.A. was recruited to edit it.
S.T.A., though, was busy at the time, pulling together an edited volume on phage therapy (see
Current Pharmaceutical Biotechnology, volume 11, issue 1), so recruited P.H. to join in on yet
another collaboration. We developed a formal proposal including recruiting the authors of the
many chapters found herein and the result is this monograph. |
