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.

iScience, 2023 Summary: Endosymbiosis with chemosynthetic Gammaproteobacteria is widely recognized as an adaptive mechanism of siboglinid tubeworms, yet evolution of these endosymbionts and their driving forces remain elusive.

PhageAI - Bacteriophage Life Cycle Recognition with Machine Learning and Natural Language Processing
bioRxiv, 2020 Background As antibiotic resistance is becoming a major problem nowadays in a treatment of infections, bacteriophages (also known as phages) seem to be an alternative. However, to be used in a therapy, their life cycle should be strictly lytic.

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 ...

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.

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.

Well-temperate phage: optimal bet-hedging against local environmental collapses [PDF]
, 2015 Upon infection of their bacterial hosts temperate phages must chose between lysogenic and lytic developmental strategies. Here we apply the game-theoretic bet-hedging strategy introduced by Kelly to derive the optimal lysogenic fraction of the total ...

Virus satellites drive viral evolution and ecology [PDF]
, 2015 Virus satellites are widespread subcellular entities, present both in eukaryotic and in prokaryotic cells. Their modus vivendi involves parasitism of the life cycle of their inducing helper viruses, which assures their transmission to a new host. However,
