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

open access: yesMSystems, 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.

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

open access: yesVirology 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]

open access: yesPLoS 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.

Vibrio parahaemolyticus quorum sensing controls phage VP882 transmission [PDF]

open access: yesmBio
Quorum sensing is a cell-to-cell communication process bacteria use to orchestrate collective behaviors. Quorum sensing involves the production, release, and detection of extracellular signal molecules called autoinducers.

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

open access: yesMBio
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.

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

open access: yesMicroorganisms, 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?

open access: yesViruses, 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.

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

open access: yesmBio, 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

Analysis of Infection Time Courses Shows CII Levels Determine the Frequency of Lysogeny in Phage 186

open access: yesPharmaceuticals, 2021
Engineered phage with properties optimised for the treatment of bacterial infections hold great promise, but require careful characterisation by a number of approaches.

Lysogeny in Streptococcus pneumoniae

open access: yesMicroorganisms, 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 ...
