Carboxyl-Terminal Region of the Maturation Protein of RNA Coliphage Qβ Mediates Host Attachment, Virion Formation, and Cell Lysis. [PDF]
Genes CellsThe capsid of the single‐stranded RNA coliphage Qβ has a maturation (A2) protein that penetrates the capsid. The N‐terminal β‐region of A2 is exposed on the surface, and the C‐terminal α‐region is located inside the capsid and binds the genomic RNA. In this study, we showed that Qβ attached to the F‐pilus of the host via A2.

Reverse Genetics of Orthoflaviviruses: Strategies for Constructing Functional or Infectious cDNA. [PDF]
J Med VirolABSTRACT Reverse genetics (RG) systems have transformed RNA virus research by enabling the recovery of recombinant viruses entirely from cloned cDNA. These platforms allow precise, hypothesis‐driven manipulation of viral genomes and support systematic phenotypic analyses in vitro and in vivo.

Virus Log Reduction Values and Dominant Mechanisms in Full-Scale Secondary Biological Wastewater Treatment Systems. [PDF]
Water Environ ResFor secondary treatment, the dominant virus removal mechanism varies based on system type and method(s) used to quantify virus reduction. This study demonstrates that secondary treatment can achieve significant virus reduction, but regulatory crediting for direct potable reuse may still not be justified.

Urinary Plasmids Reduce Permissivity to Coliphage Infection
Microbiology Spectrum, 2023 The microbial community of the urinary tract (urinary microbiota or urobiota) has been associated with human health. Bacteriophages (phages) and plasmids present in the urinary tract, like in other niches, may shape urinary bacterial dynamics.

Occurrence of coliphage in effluent: A systematic literature review and meta-analysis
Hygiene and Environmental Health Advances, 2022 Studies have illustrated that wastewater treatment methods targeting bacteria do not remove all types of viruses and available epidemiological studies indicate bacteria concentrations may not always be predictive of viral illnesses associated with ...

Coliphages of the human urinary microbiota
PLOS ONE, 2023 Due to its frequent association with urinary tract infections (UTIs), Escherichia coli is the best characterized constituent of the urinary microbiota (urobiome). However, uropathogenic E. coli is just one member of the urobiome. In addition to bacterial constituents, the urobiome of both healthy and symptomatic individuals is home to a diverse ...

The Structure of Coliphages [PDF]
Journal of General Microbiology, 1963 SUMMARY: The detailed morphology of several new coliphages is compared with that of the more familiar types; the resulting information is considered for its taxonomic value. Some were examined at molecular level and new information on the tail structure of the ‘T even’ phages is described.

Comparison between the Biofilm Desorption Abilities of T4 and MS2 Coliphages
Applied Sciences, 2022 Biofilms are a collection of microorganisms that adhere to a surface where they continue to grow. Firmly established biofilms can be hazardous to human health.
