Synergistic Interactions among Burkholderia cepacia Complex-Targeting Phages Reveal a Novel Therapeutic Role for Lysogenization-Capable Phages

Microbiology Spectrum, 2023
Antimicrobial resistance is a danger to global public health and threatens many aspects of modern medicine. Bacterial species such as those of the Burkholderia cepacia complex (Bcc) cause life-threatening respiratory infections and are highly resistant ...

Lysogeny in Leuconostoc oenos [PDF]

Journal of General Microbiology, 1991
Thirty strains of Leuconostoc oenos were exposed to mitomycin C to induce lysogenic bacteriophages. Lysis curves typical for lysogenic strains were obtained with 19 strains. Indicator strans were found for 17 of these phages. Five were characterized by electron microscopy, lytic spectrum, molecular masses of the proteins, sequencing of five N-terminal ...

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.

Viral Regulation on Bacterial Community Impacted by Lysis-Lysogeny Switch: A Microcosm Experiment in Eutrophic Coastal Waters

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
Marine viruses are major drivers of global biogeochemical cycles and energy fluxes, yet the importance of viral impacts on the succession and diversity of the bacterial community remains largely unexplored.

An extended catalog of integrated prophages in the infant and adult fecal microbiome shows high prevalence of lysogeny

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023
Background and aimsThe acquisition and gradual maturation of gut microbial communities during early childhood is central to an individual’s healthy development. Bacteriophages have the potential to shape the gut bacterial communities.

Staphylococcus aureus Prophage-Encoded Protein Causes Abortive Infection and Provides Population Immunity against Kayviruses

mBio, 2023
Both temperate and obligately lytic phages have crucial roles in the biology of staphylococci. While superinfection exclusion among closely related temperate phages is a well-characterized phenomenon, the interactions between temperate and lytic phages ...

Mitomycin C eliminates cyanobacterial transcription without detectable prophage induction in a Microcystis-dominated harmful algal bloom in Lake Erie

Microbiology Spectrum
Although evidence indicates that viruses are important in the ecology of Microcystis spp., many questions remain. For example, how does Microcystis exist at high, bloom-associated cell concentrations in the presence of viruses that infect it?

phiD12-Like Livestock-Associated Prophages Are Associated With Novel Subpopulations of Streptococcus agalactiae Infecting Neonates

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2019
Group B Streptococcus (GBS) is a major cause of invasive disease in neonates worldwide. Monitoring data have revealed a continuing trend toward an increase in neonatal GBS infections, despite the introduction of preventive measures.
