Comparative genomics defines the core genome of the growing N4-like phage genus and identifies N4-like Roseophage specific genes

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2014
Two bacteriophages, RPP1 and RLP1, infecting members of the marine Roseobacter clade were isolated from seawater. Their linear genomes are 74.7 and 74.6 kb and encode 91 and 92 coding DNA sequences, respectively.

The persistence and stabilization of auxiliary genes in the human skin virome

Virology Journal, 2023
Background The human skin contains a diverse microbiome that provides protective functions against environmental pathogens. Studies have demonstrated that bacteriophages modulate bacterial community composition and facilitate the transfer of host ...

Diversity and potential function of pig gut DNA viruses

Heliyon, 2023
Viruses are ubiquitous in the gut of animals and play an important role in the ecology of the gut microbiome. The potential effects of these substances on the growth and development of the body are not fully known.

Why Optimal States Recruit Fewer Reactions in Metabolic Networks [PDF]

, 2012
The metabolic network of a living cell involves several hundreds or thousands of interconnected biochemical reactions. Previous research has shown that under realistic conditions only a fraction of these reactions is concurrently active in any given cell.

Viral Metagenomic Content Reflects Seawater Ecological Quality in the Coastal Zone

Viruses, 2020
Viruses interfere with their host’s metabolism through the expression of auxiliary metabolic genes (AMGs) that, until now, are mostly studied under large physicochemical gradients.

From A. rhizogenes RolD to Plant P5CS: Exploiting Proline to Control Plant Development [PDF]

, 2018
The capability of the soil bacterium Agrobacterium rhizogenes to reprogram plant development and induce adventitious hairy roots relies on the expression of a few root-inducing genes (rol A, B, C and D), which can be transferred from large virulence ...

A Novel Jumbo Phage PhiMa05 Inhibits Harmful Microcystis sp.

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Microcystis poses a concern because of its potential contribution to eutrophication and production of microcystins (MCs). Phage treatment has been proposed as a novel biocontrol method for Microcystis.

The metastasis inducer CCN1 (CYR61) activates the fatty acid synthase (FASN)-driven lipogenic phenotype in breast cancer cells [PDF]

, 2016
The angiogenic inducer CCN1 (Cysteine-rich 61, CYR61) is differentially activated in metastatic breast carcinomas. However, little is known about the precise mechanisms that underlie the pro-metastatic actions of CCN1. Here, we investigated the impact of
