Prophage Genomics and Ecology in the Family Rhodobacteraceae
Microorganisms, 2021 Roseobacters are globally abundant bacteria with critical roles in carbon and sulfur biogeochemical cycling. Here, we identified 173 new putative prophages in 79 genomes of Rhodobacteraceae.

Phylogenetic analysis of microbial communities in different regions of the gastrointestinal tract in Panaque nigrolineatus, a wood-eating fish [PDF]
, 2012 The Neotropical detritivorous catfish Panaque nigrolineatus imbibes large quantities of wood as part of its diet. Due to the interest in cellulose, hemi-cellulose and lignin degradation pathways, this organism provides an interesting model system for the

Insights into the global freshwater virome
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022 Viruses are by far the most abundant life forms on this planet. Yet, the full viral diversity remains mostly unknown, especially in environments like freshwater. Therefore, we aimed to study freshwater viruses in a global context.

Record-Breaking Rain Event Altered Estuarine Viral Assemblages
Microorganisms, 2022 Viruses are the dominant biological entity in the ocean, play a vital role in biogeochemical cycles, and provide their hosts with novel metabolic capabilities through auxiliary metabolic genes (AMGs). Hurricane Harvey was a category 4 hurricane that made

Phage auxiliary metabolic genes and the redirection of cyanobacterial host carbon metabolism [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2011 Cyanophages infecting the marine cyanobacteria Prochlorococcus and Synechococcus encode and express genes for the photosynthetic light reactions. Sequenced cyanophage genomes lack Calvin cycle genes, however, suggesting that photosynthetic energy ...

Auxiliary Liver Transplantation: A Form of Gene Therapy in Selective Metabolic Disorders [PDF]
Journal of Clinical and Experimental Hepatology, 2011 Auxiliary liver transplantation is an accepted form of therapy in acute liver failure and in certain metabolic disorders. We report India's first successful auxiliary liver transplantation for Crigler-Najjar syndrome type 1, showing that it is technically feasible and safe procedure.

Genome Analysis of Two Novel Synechococcus Phages That Lack Common Auxiliary Metabolic Genes: Possible Reasons and Ecological Insights by Comparative Analysis of Cyanomyoviruses. [PDF]
Viruses, 2020 The abundant and widespread unicellular cyanobacteria Synechococcus plays an important role in contributing to global phytoplankton primary production. In the present study, two novel cyanomyoviruses, S-N03 and S-H34 that infected Synechococcus MW02, were isolated from the coastal waters of the Yellow Sea. S-N03 contained a 167,069-bp genome comprising

Longitudinal Investigation of Enteric Virome Signatures from Parental-Generation to Offspring Pigs
Microbiology Spectrum, 2023 To date, studies on the swine gut microbiome have focused almost exclusively on bacteria. Despite recent advances in the understanding of the swine gut bacteriome at different growth stages, a comprehensive longitudinal study of the lifetime dynamics of ...

Phage-Encoded Sigma Factors Alter Bacterial Dormancy
mSphere, 2022 By entering a reversible state of reduced metabolic activity, dormant microorganisms are able to tolerate suboptimal conditions that would otherwise reduce their fitness. Dormancy may also benefit bacteria by serving as a refuge from parasitic infections.

Organochlorine contamination enriches virus-encoded metabolism and pesticide degradation associated auxiliary genes in soil microbiomes [PDF]
The ISME Journal, 2022 Abstract Viruses significantly influence local and global biogeochemical cycles and help bacteria to survive in different environments by encoding various auxiliary metabolic genes (AMGs) associated with energy acquisition, stress tolerance and degradation of xenobiotics.
