Architecture and Evolution of Prokaryotic Multicellularity: Common Patterns and Diversity

open access: yesMolecular Microbiology, EarlyView.
Prokaryotes form diverse multicellular structures, like biofilms, filaments, and aggregates, comprising hallmark traits such as adhesion, communication, differentiation, and programmed cell death. This review explores how these forms develop, function, and evolve in response to environmental cues.

Investigation into the Lysis Inhibition Phenomenon in Bacteriophage N4

open access: yes
We are facing a global crisis in which bacteria are resistant to the antibiotics prescribed to kill them. This creates bacterial superbugs that develop mechanisms of resistance and can withstand antibiotics previously able to kill them, thereby making ...

The Hna Phage Defence Protein: A DNA‐Stimulated Helicase With Cryptic Nuclease Activity

open access: yesMolecular Microbiology, EarlyView.
The Hna (Helicase‐nuclease Abi) phage defence system consists of a single protein and provides defence through abortive infection. We show that Hna's abortive infection response can be recreated in a heterologous host upon expression of phage single‐stranded DNA binding protein (SSB) and present a characterization of Hna's biochemical activity.

Virocell Necromass Provides Limited Plant Nitrogen and Elicits Rhizosphere Metabolites That Affect Phage Dynamics

open access: yesPlant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Bacteriophages impact soil bacteria through lysis, altering the availability of organic carbon and plant nutrients. However, the magnitude of nutrient uptake by plants from lysed bacteria remains unknown, partly because this process is challenging to investigate in the field.

Patterns of Drug Resistance, Drug Resistance Conferring Mutations and Genomic DNA Methylation Revealed in Mycobacterium tuberculosis From South Africa

open access: yesTropical Medicine &International Health, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Tuberculosis remains a major public health threat globally, with drug‐resistant strains undermining treatment efficacy. We analyzed 126 Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tuberculosis) isolates with diverse drug resistance spectra and selected 35 for whole genome sequencing (WGS) using Illumina NextSeq, SMRT PacBio Onso and SMRT PacBio Revio ...

Screening and Activity Evaluation of Peptides With Anti‐Ice‐Nucleation Activity Using the Phage Display Library Method

open access: yesJournal of Peptide Science, Volume 32, Issue 12, December 2026.
AHIARSV, a peptide sequence with higher anti‐ice‐nucleation activity than the original SHIARSV sequence, exhibits high levels of both anti‐nucleation activity and ice recrystallization inhibition activity. ABSTRACT We screened for anti‐ice‐nucleation peptides using the phage display library method, with silver iodide as the target for artificial ice ...

Vitamin B12 release through bacteriophage-mediated cell lysis of the marine bacterium Sulfitobacter sp. M39 [PDF]

open access: yes
Vitamin B12 (B12) is an essential cofactor for vital metabolic processes in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes. De novo B(12 )biosynthesis is exclusively carried out by a modicum of prokaryotes, although being required by most organisms.

Engineering Mosaic T7 Bacteriophages for Dual Peptide Display to Enable Cellular Targeting and Ligand‐Directed Protein Capture

open access: yesBiotechnology Journal, Volume 21, Issue 11, November 2026.
Graphical Abstract and Lay Summary A mosaic T7 phage platform enables simultaneous display of two independent peptides on the same phage particle. The modular design integrates receptor targeting, protein capture, and tissue‐directed in vivo phage display, establishing a versatile methodology for multifunctional phage engineering, receptor ...

Genome‐Wide Analysis of Protein Binding to DNA in Plastids by ptChIP‐seq

open access: yesCurrent Protocols, Volume 6, Issue 11, November 2026.
Abstract Plastids contain their own genomes encoding essential components of the photosynthetic apparatus and gene expression machinery. Transcription in plastids is mediated by two RNA polymerases, nuclear‐encoded (NEP) and plastid‐encoded RNA polymerase (PEP).
