Bacteriophages are an exceptional group of viruses infecting and killing only specific bacterial cells while remaining harmless to known eukaryotic organisms (including humans) . Phages are becoming of great interest for various applications, including phage therapy , food preservation , plant protection in agriculture , and industrial sterilization . Phages are cheap, easy to produce, safe, specific, and ubiquitous, making them auspicious candidates for future industrial applications. Being on the verge of the nanoscale, some even consider phages as biological, antibacterial nanomachines . The major weakness was their susceptibility to adverse environmental conditions such as elevated temperatures, high pressures, osmotic shock, electric fields, and radiation of different spectrum ranges .
