Question 1

Why did you use partial rank correlation?

Shows correlation between one parameter and outcome, keeping all other constant, so answers my question of interest here on how outcome is affected by phage characteristics

Inundation: concentration of phage needed to eradicate bacteria
Proliferation: concentration of bacteria needed to allow phage pop increase
