Born #OnThisDay in 1922, Esther Lederberg was the first to isolate the lambda phage in 1951. She characterised the lysogenic phase, whereby the phage are able to integrate into the bacterial genome, staying dormant. This discovery made them a model tool of study, leading to many more breakthroughs.

Both are stored as fat rather than fully respired (β€œburned”) into energy because they contain too much energy to use. Cane sugar is 50/50 fructose/glucose while high-fructose corn syrup is 55/45. Essentially no difference
