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

open access: goldMSystems, 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.

Lysogeny in Streptococcus pneumoniae [PDF]

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 ...

Studies on Escherichia coli HflKC suggest the presence of an unidentified λ factor that influences the lysis-lysogeny switch [PDF]

open access: goldBMC Microbiology, 2011
Background The lysis-lysogeny decision in the temperate coliphage λ is influenced by a number of phage proteins (CII and CIII) as well as host factors, viz. Escherichia coli HflB, HflKC and HflD. Prominent among these are the transcription factor CII and

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.

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

open access: goldmBio
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.

Lysogeny destabilizes computationally simulated microbiomes [PDF]

open access: goldEcology Letters, 2023
AbstractBackgroundThe Anna Karenina Principle predicts that stability in host-associated microbiomes correlates with health in the host. Microbiomes are ecosystems, and classical ecological theory suggests that predators impact ecosystem stability. Phages can act as predators on bacterial species in microbiomes.

Frenemy: adaptive temperate phage_SAP_1432 supports Staphylococcus aureus survival in changing temperatures [PDF]

open access: yesMicrobiology Spectrum
It is important to understand how the presence of pathogens could benefit the survival of their hosts during climate change. In this study, we investigated the influence of the heat-resistant temperate phage phage_SAP_1432 on its bacterial host ...
