Cell fate decisions emerge as phages cooperate or compete inside their host
The bacteriophage lambda and its hostEscherichia coli provide a model system to study cell-fate decisions. Here, Trinh et al. develop a four-colour fluorescence system at the single-cell/single-virus/single-viral-DNA level and find phages cooperate ...

Complete Genome Sequences of Paenibacillus Larvae Phages BN12, Dragolir, Kiel007, Leyra, Likha, Pagassa, PBL1c, and Tadhana [PDF]
We present here the complete genomes of eight phages that infect Paenibacillus larvae, the causative agent of American foulbrood in honeybees. Phage PBL1c was originally isolated in 1984 from a P.

Ion-dependent dynamics of DNA ejections for bacteriophage lambda. [PDF]
We studied the control parameters that govern the dynamics of in vitro DNA ejection in bacteriophage lambda. Previous work demonstrated that bacteriophage DNA is highly pressurized, and this pressure has been hypothesized to help drive DNA ejection. Ions

Lambda-Display: A Powerful Tool for Antigen Discovery
Since its introduction in 1985, phage display technology has been successfully used in projects aimed at deciphering biological processes and isolating molecules of practical value in several applications.

454-Pyrosequencing: A Molecular Battiscope for Freshwater Viral Ecology [PDF]
Viruses, the most abundant biological entities on the planet, are capable of infecting organisms from all three branches of life, although the majority infect bacteria where the greatest degree of cellular diversity lies.

A new topology of the HK97-like fold revealed in Bordetella bacteriophage by cryoEM at 3.5 A resolution. [PDF]
Bacteriophage BPP-1 infects and kills Bordetella species that cause whooping cough. Its diversity-generating retroelement (DGR) provides a naturally occurring phage-display system, but engineering efforts are hampered without atomic structures.

Ultraviolet Reactivation in Bacteriophage Lambda
Summary Reactivation of damaged phage λ v by recombination with prophage (prophage reactivation) and by u.v. irradiation of host bacteria (u.v. reactivation) were similar in that u.v.- and nitrous acid-damaged phage was reactivated in both, both were eliminated by three rec alleles, neither was much affected by hcr alleles, and both were dependent on ...

Sequence Variability of P2-Like Prophage Genomes Carrying the Cytolethal Distending Toxin V Operon in Escherichia coli O157 [PDF]
Cytolethal distending toxins (CDT) are potent cytotoxins of several Gram-negative pathogenic bacteria, including Escherichia coli, in which five types (CDT-I to CDT-V) have been identified so far.
