Fixed points and limit cycles in the population dynamics of lysogenic viruses and their hosts [PDF]
, 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,

Viruses, 2022 Phages are viruses that infect bacteria. They affect various microbe-mediated processes that drive biogeochemical cycling on a global scale. Their influence depends on whether the infection is lysogenic or lytic.

Insights into the mechanism of action of the arbitrium communication system in SPbeta phages
Nature Communications, 2022 The arbitrium system is a peptide-based communication system to coordinate the lysis-lysogenic cycle of phages infecting bacteria. Here Gallego del Sol et al. provide the crystal structure of Aim-receptor of Katmira phage infecting B.

PLoS ONE, 2022 Bacteriophages exhibit a vast spectrum of relatedness and there is increasing evidence of close genomic relationships independent of host genus. The variability in phage similarity at the nucleotide, amino acid, and gene content levels confounds attempts

Repeated outbreaks drive the evolution of bacteriophage communication
eLife, 2021 Recently, a small-molecule communication mechanism was discovered in a range of Bacillus-infecting bacteriophages, which these temperate phages use to inform their lysis-lysogeny decision.

Phage strategies facilitate bacterial coexistence under environmental variability [PDF]
PeerJ, 2021 Bacterial communities are often exposed to temporal variations in resource availability, which exceed bacterial generation times and thereby affect bacterial coexistence.

Microbiology Spectrum, 2023 Persister cells are drug-tolerant bacteria capable of surviving antibiotic treatment despite the absence of heritable resistance mechanisms. It is generally thought that persister cells survive antibiotic exposure through the implementation of stress ...

The role of bacteriophages in shaping bacterial composition and diversity in the human gut
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023 The microbiota of the gut has continued to co-evolve alongside their human hosts conferring considerable health benefits including the production of nutrients, drug metabolism, modulation of the immune system, and playing an antagonistic role against ...

Calculating Biological Behaviors of Epigenetic States in Phage lambda Life Cycle [PDF]
, 2004 Gene regulatory network of lambda phage is one the best studied model systems in molecular biology. More 50 years of experimental study has provided a tremendous amount of data at all levels: physics, chemistry, DNA, protein, and function.
