Capsid structure of bacteriophage ΦKZ provides insights into assembly and stabilization of jumbo phages

Nature Communications
Jumbo phages are a group of tailed bacteriophages with large genomes and capsids. As a prototype of jumbo phage, ΦKZ infects Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a multi-drug-resistant (MDR) opportunistic pathogen leading to acute or chronic infection in ...

Mapping the transcriptional landscape of algal resistance to viral infection reveals a core expression program

New Phytologist, Volume 248, Issue 3, Page 1368-1384, November 2025.
Summary Algal blooms and their demise by viruses drive global‐scale ecological processes in the ocean. These blooms form the foundation of marine food webs, regulate microbial communities, and shape biogeochemical cycles. Although algal populations are constantly infected by viruses, resistant subpopulations frequently emerge after the infection.

Klebsiella phage vB_KleM-RaK2 - a giant singleton virus of the family Myoviridae.

PLoS ONE, 2013
At 346 kbp in size, the genome of a jumbo bacteriophage vB_KleM-RaK2 (RaK2) is the largest Klebsiella infecting myovirus genome sequenced to date. In total, 272 out of 534 RaK2 ORFs lack detectable database homologues.

Two asian jumbo phages, ϕRSL2 and ϕRSF1, infect Ralstonia solanacearum and show common features of ϕKZ-related phages

Virology, 2016
Jumbo phages infecting Ralstonia solanacearum were isolated in Thailand (ϕRSL2) and Japan (ϕRSF1). They were similar regarding virion morphology, genomic arrangement, and host range. Phylogenetic and proteomic tree analyses demonstrate that the ϕRSL2 and ϕRSF1 belong to a group of evolutionary related phages, including Pseudomonas phages ϕKZ, 201ϕ2-1 ...

Novel bacteriophages targeting wheat phyllosphere bacteria carry DNA modifications and single-strand breaks

Virus Research
The phyllosphere microbiome can positively or negatively impact plant health and growth, but we currently lack the tools to control microbiome composition.

Phage (cocktail)-antibiotic synergism: a new frontier in addressing Klebsiella pneumoniae resistance

Frontiers in Microbiology
Phages, which play a crucial role in regulating bacterial populations and evolution, have gained renewed attention as potential therapeutic agents especially in the face of rising antimicrobial resistance, such as in Klebsiella pneumoniae– a MDR pathogen
