Comparative genomic analysis reveals contraction of gene families with putative roles in pathogenesis in the fungal boxwood pathogens Calonectria henricotiae and C. pseudonaviculata

BMC Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Background Boxwood blight disease caused by Calonectria henricotiae and C. pseudonaviculata is of ecological and economic significance in cultivated and native ecosystems worldwide.

Host range, host specificity and hypothesized host shift events among viruses of lower vertebrates

Veterinary Research, 2011
The successful replication of a viral agent in a host is a complex process that often leads to a species specificity of the virus and can make interspecies transmission difficult.

Viral protein instability enhances host-range evolvability.

PLoS Genetics, 2022
Viruses are highly evolvable, but what traits endow this property? The high mutation rates of viruses certainly play a role, but factors that act above the genetic code, like protein thermostability, are also expected to contribute.

A Novel Broad Host Range Phage Infecting Alteromonas

Viruses, 2021
Bacteriophages substantially contribute to bacterial mortality in the ocean and play critical roles in global biogeochemical processes. Alteromonas is a ubiquitous bacterial genus in global tropical and temperate waters, which can cross-protect marine ...

Does Phage Therapy Need a Pan-Phage?

Pathogens
The emergence of multidrug-resistant bacteria is undoubtedly one of the most serious global health threats. One response to this threat that has been gaining momentum over the past decade is ‘phage therapy’.

Pectobacterium brasiliense: Genomics, Host Range and Disease Management

Microorganisms, 2021
Pectobacterium brasiliense (Pbr) is considered as one of the most virulent species among the Pectobacteriaceae. This species has a broad host range within horticulture crops and is well distributed elsewhere.

Lytic Activity Spectra of Bacteriophages

Антибиотики и Химиотерапия
One of the central topics in bacteriophage research is the host specificity. It depends on the success of completing viral life cycle stages, including adsorption, penetration of the genetic material of the virus into the cell and its replication ...

GENETIC CONSTRUCTION OF BROAD HOST RANGE Bradyrhizobium japonicum [PDF]

Journal of Plant Production, 2001
Protoplast fusion and conjugation were used to expand the Rhizobium host range. B.japonicum AS25 and R.leguminosarum biovar vicia ICARDA441 were fused and six, genetically stable, fusants were isolated.

Host range of meliolaceous fungi in India

Journal of Threatened Taxa, 2009
The order Meliolales comprises two families, namely, Armatellaceae and Meliolaceae. Except the genera Endomeliola and Pauhia, India represents rest of the nine genera of this group.

Adaptive Plasmid Evolution Results in Host-Range Expansion of a Broad-Host-Range Plasmid [PDF]

Genetics, 2008
Abstract Little is known about the range of hosts in which broad-host-range (BHR) plasmids can persist in the absence of selection for plasmid-encoded traits, and whether this “long-term host range” can evolve over time. Previously, the BHR multidrug resistance plasmid pB10 was shown to be highly unstable in Stenotrophomonas maltophilia ...
