Lysogeny in Streptococcus pneumoniae [PDF]

Microorganisms, 2020
Bacterial viruses, or bacteriophages, are major contributors to the evolution, pathogenesis and overall biology of their host bacteria. During their life cycle, temperate bacteriophages form stable associations with their host by integrating into the ...

Glucose-induced active lysogeny of prophage ΦSa3XN promotes Staphylococcus aureus virulence [PDF]

Virology Journal
Background Active lysogeny is a newly characterized mechanism that the dynamic integration and excision of prophages serve as molecular switches to coordinately regulate bacterial gene expression without generating progeny virions.

Temperate phage evolve to integrate host stress and quorum signals in lysis-lysogeny decisions. [PDF]

PLoS Biology
Temperate phage can transmit both horizontally (lytic cycle) and vertically (lysogenic cycle). Many temperate phage have the ability to modify their lysis/lysogeny decisions based on various environmental cues.

Quantification of Lysogeny Caused by Phage Coinfections in Microbial Communities from Biophysical Principles

MSystems, 2020
Temperate phages can associate with their bacterial host to form a lysogen, often modifying the phenotype of the host. Lysogens are dominant in the microbially dense environment of the mammalian gut.

Bacteriophage tRNA-dependent lysogeny: requirement of phage-encoded tRNA genes for establishment of lysogeny

MBio
Bacteriophages are large and diverse components of the biosphere, and many phages are temperate. Upon infection, temperate phages can establish lysogeny in which a prophage is typically integrated into the bacterial chromosome.

Temperate phage-antibiotic synergy across antibiotic classes reveals new mechanism for preventing lysogeny

MBio
A recent demonstration of synergy between a temperate phage and the antibiotic ciprofloxacin suggested a scalable approach to exploiting temperate phages in therapy, termed temperate phage-antibiotic synergy, which specifically interacted with the lysis ...

Comparative Genomics of Prophages Sato and Sole Expands the Genetic Diversity Found in the Genus Betatectivirus

Microorganisms, 2021
Tectiviruses infecting the Bacillus cereus group represent part of the bacterial “plasmid repertoire” as they behave as linear plasmids during their lysogenic cycle.

Are Bordetella bronchiseptica Siphoviruses (Genus Vojvodinavirus) Appropriate for Phage Therapy—Bacterial Allies or Foes?

Viruses, 2021
Bordetella bronchiseptica is a respiratory animal pathogen that shows growing resistance to commonly used antibiotics, which has necessitated the examination of new antimicrobials, including bacteriophages.

Lysogeny in Lactobacilli [PDF]

Journal of General Microbiology, 1974
Summary: Strains of lactobacilli were examined for lysogeny after treatment with mitomycin C. Forty strains belonging to 7 species out of 148 strains of 15 species were lysed by mitomycin C. Lysis was strongly dependent upon the concentration of mitomycin C, temperature and the age of the cultures.

DNA Viral Diversity, Abundance, and Functional Potential Vary across Grassland Soils with a Range of Historical Moisture Regimes

mBio, 2021
Soil viruses are abundant, but the influence of the environment and climate on soil viruses remains poorly understood. Here, we addressed this gap by comparing the diversity, abundance, lifestyle, and metabolic potential of DNA viruses in three grassland
