Soil Giant Phage: Genome and Biological Characteristics of Sinorhizobium Jumbo Phage
International Journal of Molecular SciencesThis paper presents the first in-depth research on the biological and genomic properties of lytic rhizobiophage AP-J-162 isolated from the soils of the mountainous region of Dagestan (North Caucasus), which belongs to the centers of origin of cultivated plants, according to Vavilov N.I. The rhizobiophage host strains are nitrogen-fixing bacteria of the

Environmental bacteriophages : viruses of microbes in aquatic ecosystems
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2014 Since the discovery 2-3 decades ago that viruses of microbes are abundant in marine ecosystems, viral ecology has grown increasingly to reach the status of a full scientific discipline in environmental sciences.

iMetaOmics, Volume 3, Issue 1, March 2026.Estuaries are vital hotspots for antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) due to substantial antibiotic pollution. Although viruses have been proposed as key reservoirs and important disseminators of ARGs in environments, their contribution to the estuarine antibiotic resistome remains largely unknown.

The genome of AR9, a giant transducing Bacillus phage encoding two multisubunit RNA polymerases
Virology, 2016 Bacteriophage AR9 and its close relative PBS1 have been extensively used to construct early Bacillus subtilis genetic maps. Here, we present the 251,042bp AR9 genome, a linear, terminally redundant double-stranded DNA containing deoxyuridine instead of thymine.

Extensive proteolysis of head and inner body proteins by a morphogenetic protease in the giant Pseudomonas aeruginosa phage φKZ [PDF]
Molecular Microbiology, 2012 SummaryEncased within the 280 kb genome in the capsid of the giant myovirus φKZ is an unusual cylindrical proteinaceous ‘inner body’ of highly ordered structure. We present here mass spectrometry, bioinformatic and biochemical studies that reveal novel information about the φKZ head and the complex inner body. The identification of 39 cleavage sites in

Synthetic Cells on Demand: From Molecular Stimuli to Cellular Functions
ChemSystemsChem, Volume 8, Issue 2, March 2026.ABSTRACT Synthetic cells constructed via bottom‐up approaches using lipid or polymer vesicles have become essential tools for mimicking cellular functions and studying synthetic biological systems. These vesicles can undergo morphological changes and trigger internal reactions in response to external stimuli, such as osmotic pressure, temperature, pH ...

Action of Cavitation Phenomena Generated by Giant Magnetostrictive Actuator to Inactivation of Phage
Journal of the Magnetics Society of Japan, 2010 It is well-known that the irradiation of ultrasound in aqueous solution results in the generation of pulse power and resultant radicals. The ultrasound creates micro-air bubbles as cavitation, and the collapse of the bubble contributes to the generation of a shock wave, heat, and radicals.
