A cytoskeletal vortex drives phage nucleus rotation during jumbo phage replication in E. coli. [PDF]
Nucleus-forming jumbo phages establish an intricate subcellular organization, enclosing phage genomes within a proteinaceous shell called the phage nucleus.

The human oral phageome is highly diverse and rich in jumbo phages [PDF]
Until recently, the contribution of bacteriophages to the composition and function of the human microbiome has been largely overlooked. Recent developments in discovering novel bacteriophages from human metagenomes have been mostly focused on the gut ...

Isolation protocol of jumbo phage from winter grass soil [PDF]
Jumbo phage can isolated by two different methods and protocols. It depends on size, phage species, substrate sources, environment, media and tools. Each method has positive and negative results within each factors.

Molecular basis for anti-jumbo phage immunity by AVAST type 5.
Jumbo phages protect their genomes from DNA-sensing bacterial defense systems by enclosing them within vesicles and nucleus-like compartments. Very little is known about defense systems specialized to counter these phages. Here, we show that AVAST Type 5

Phage isolation and functional characterization reveal strong antibiofilm activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa in a cystic fibrosis sputum model [PDF]
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen that forms persistent biofilms in the lungs of cystic fibrosis and other chronic pulmonary disease patients, contributing to antibiotic tolerance, recurrent infection, and clinical decline.

Subcellular organization of viral particles during maturation of nucleus-forming jumbo phage [PDF]
Many eukaryotic viruses assemble mature particles within distinct subcellular compartments, but bacteriophages are generally assumed to assemble randomly throughout the host cell cytoplasm.

Characterisation of a Novel Jumbo Lytic Aeromonas dhakensis Bacteriophage P19 and Its Endolysin. [PDF]
A jumbo, lytic myovirus phage P19 against multidrug‐resistant (MDR) Aeromonas dhakensis was isolated from river water. P19 demonstrated robust lytic activity, high thermal and pH stability (pH 6–10, up to 60°C), and no genes associated with lysogeny, virulence or antimicrobial resistance. ORF_358 of P19 encodes for T4‐type lysozyme.

The Dynamics of Synthesis and Localization of Jumbo Phage RNA Polymerases inside Infected Cells
A nucleus-like structure composed of phage-encoded proteins and containing replicating viral DNA is formed in Pseudomonas aeruginosa cells infected by jumbo bacteriophage phiKZ. The PhiKZ genes are transcribed independently from host RNA polymerase (RNAP)

A phage nucleus-associated RNA-binding protein is required for jumbo phage infection
Large-genome bacteriophages (jumbo phages) of the proposed family Chimalliviridae assemble a nucleus-like compartment bounded by a protein shell that protects the replicating phage genome from host-encoded restriction enzymes and DNA-targeting CRISPR-Cas
