Bacteriophages as Biotechnological Tools
Viruses, 2023 Bacteriophages are ubiquitous organisms that can be specific to one or multiple strains of hosts, in addition to being the most abundant entities on the planet. It is estimated that they exceed ten times the total number of bacteria.

Bacterial ‘Grounded’ Prophages: Hotspots for Genetic Renovation and Innovation
Frontiers in Genetics, 2019 Bacterial genomes are highly plastic allowing the generation of variants through mutations and acquisition of genetic information. The fittest variants are then selected by the econiche thereby allowing the bacterial adaptation and colonization of the ...

Viruses under the Antarctic Ice Shelf are active and potentially involved in global nutrient cycles
Nature Communications, 2023 Viruses play an important role in the marine ecosystem. However, our comprehension of viruses inhabiting the dark ocean, and in particular, under the Antarctic Ice Shelves, remains limited.
