DGR mutagenic transposition occurs via hypermutagenic reverse transcription primed by nicked template RNA. [PDF]

, 2017
Diversity-generating retroelements (DGRs) are molecular evolution machines that facilitate microbial adaptation to environmental changes. Hypervariation occurs via a mutagenic retrotransposition process from a template repeat (TR) to a variable repeat ...

The Lysogenicity of Staphylococci isolated in Poland [PDF]

Journal of General Microbiology, 1960
SUMMARY: Strains of staphylococci were tested for lysogenicity and different ‘lysogenicity patterns’ were defined on the basis of the phage lytic spectra. The test of lysogenicity was used to indicate the pathogenicity, and to complement the phage-typing pattern. None of the coagulase-negative strains (65) carried a phage.

Inducible viral receptor, A possible concept to induce viral protection in primitive immune animals

Virology Journal, 2011
A pseudolysogen (PL) is derived from the lysogenic Vibrio harveyi (VH) which is infected with the VHS1 (Vibrio harveyi Siphoviridae-like 1) bacteriophage. The lysogenic Vibrio harveyi undergoes an unequivalent division of the extra-chromosomal VHS1 phage

Fixed points and limit cycles in the population dynamics of lysogenic viruses and their hosts

, 2010
Starting with stochastic rate equations for the fundamental interactions between microbes and their viruses, we derive a mean field theory for the population dynamics of microbe-virus systems, including the effects of lysogeny. In the absence of lysogeny,

Systematic evaluation of phenotypic variations induced by prophages in a clinical isolate of Pseudomonas aeruginosa

mSystems
With the rise of antibiotic resistance, nosocomial infections caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa present a significant challenge to healthcare systems. Prophages integrated into bacterial chromosomes play a key role in generating phenotypic and genotypic ...

Lysis-deficient phages as novel therapeutic agents for controlling bacterial infection [PDF]

, 2011
Background Interest in phage therapy has grown over the past decade due to the rapid emergence of antibiotic resistance in bacterial pathogens. However, the use of bacteriophages for therapeutic purposes has raised concerns over the potential

Non‐Functionalized Graphene as an Electrical Sensing Surface for Bacterial Detection

Advanced Materials Interfaces, Volume 13, Issue 5, 4 March 2026.
Pathogenic bacteria detection in food remains a major public health concern, driving the need for rapid, cost‐effective, and portable detection systems. This review focuses on the use of non‐functionalized graphene as an electrical sensing surface for bacterial detection, highlighting their unique properties, sensing mechanism, and current developments.

Isolation and Characterization of a Novel Myophage Abp9 Against Pandrug Resistant Acinetobacater baumannii

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
Acinetobacter baumannii (A. baumannii) has emerged as one of the most troublesome pathogens in health care institutions. A. baumannii can cause a wide range of diseases in humans, including pneumonia and septicemia. Phage therapy has drawn great interest

Evolutionary divergence and functional insights into the heteromeric cis‐prenyltransferase of Paramecium tetraurelia

The FEBS Journal, Volume 293, Issue 6, Page 1681-1707, March 2026.
Heteromeric cis‐prenyltransferases (CPT) are indispensable for dolichol synthesis and protein N‐glycosylation in most eukaryotes. The catalytic subunits are strongly conserved throughout evolution, in contrast to the evolutionarily variable accessory subunits. The POC1 protein from Paramecium tetraurelia is the smallest identified CPT‐accessory subunit

A comparison of the DNA binding and bending capacities and the oligomeric states of the immunity repressors of heteroimmune coliphages P2 and WPhi [PDF]

, 2007
Bacteriophages P2 and WΦ are heteroimmune members of the P2-like family of temperate Escherichia coli phages. Temperate phages can grow lytically or form lysogeny after infection.
