Scaling relation between genome length and particle size of viruses provides insights into viral life history

open access: yesiScience, 2021
Summary: In terms of genome and particle sizes, viruses exhibit great diversity. With the discovery of several nucleocytoplasmic large DNA viruses (NCLDVs) and jumbo phages, the relationship between particle and genome sizes has emerged as an important ...

Differential Bacteriophage Efficacy in Controlling Salmonella in Cattle Hide and Soil Models

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Asymptomatic Salmonella carriage in beef cattle is a food safety concern and the beef feedlot environment and cattle hides are reservoirs of this pathogen. Bacteriophages present an attractive non-antibiotic strategy for control of Salmonella in beef. In

Environmental bacteriophages infecting Dickeya and Serratia species: receptors and diversity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Phytopathogenic Dickeya species inflict large economic losses on a variety of crops. A lack of effective chemical control methods has generated interest in the use of bacteriophages (phages) as a novel tool for biocontrol.

A Novel, Highly Related Jumbo Family of Bacteriophages That Were Isolated Against Erwinia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Erwinia amylovora is a plant pathogen from the Erwiniaceae family and a causative agent of the devastating agricultural disease fire blight. Here we characterize eight lytic bacteriophages of E.

CRISPRi-ART enables functional genomics of diverse bacteriophages using RNA-binding dCas13d [PDF]

open access: yes
Bacteriophages constitute one of the largest reservoirs of genes of unknown function in the biosphere. Even in well-characterized phages, the functions of most genes remain unknown.

Capsid Structure and DNA Packing in Jumbo Bacteriophages [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Jumbo phages, the phages with genome length larger than 200 Kbp, are extreme examples of how the capsid and genome coordinate in evolution. To learn the mechanism of capsid size change during evolutionary time, the capsid and DNA of several jumbo phages ...
