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 ...

Computational Prediction of Bacteriophage Host Ranges [PDF]

Microorganisms, 2022
Increased antibiotic resistance has prompted the development of bacteriophage agents for a multitude of applications in agriculture, biotechnology, and medicine. A key factor in the choice of agents for these applications is the host range of a bacteriophage, i.e., the bacterial genera, species, and strains a bacteriophage is able to infect.

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’.

The host range of Polymyxa betae in Britain

, 1992
The host range of Polymyxa betae on common arable weed species in Britain was determined by growing plants in naturally infested soil and examining their root systems for the presence of resting spores (cystosori). Of the 24 species tested, only Atriplex

Host genotype shapes the foliar fungal microbiome of balsam poplar (Populus balsamifera) [PDF]

, 2013
Foliar fungal communities of plants are diverse and ubiquitous. In grasses endophytes may increase host fitness; in trees, their ecological roles are poorly understood.

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.

Characterisation of host growth after infection with a broad-range freshwater cyanopodophage [PDF]

, 2014
Freshwater cyanophages are poorly characterised in comparison to their marine counterparts, however, the level of genetic diversity that exists in freshwater cyanophage communities is likely to exceed that found in marine environments, due to the habitat
