Hi‐C sequencing was used to link viral sequences with microbial metagenome assembled genomes in the largely uncultivated waters of an oxygen‐deficient zone's secondary chlorophyll maximum within the Eastern Tropical North Pacific Ocean. ABSTRACT Oxygen‐deficient zones (ODZs) influence global nitrogen cycling as key sites for the removal of bioavailable

Defense Systems and Prophage Detection in Streptococcus mutans Strains
ABSTRACT Although the species is extensively studied, limited data are available on antiphage defense systems (APDSs) in Streptococcus mutans. The present study aimed to explore the diversity and the occurrence of APDSs and to search for prophages in the genomes of clinical isolates of S. mutans using bioinformatics tools.

Making serine integrases work for us [PDF]
DNA site-specific recombinases are enzymes (often associated with mobile DNA elements) that catalyse breaking and rejoining of DNA strands at specific points, thereby bringing about precise genetic rearrangements.

Background: Antimicrobial stewardship has become vital given the progressive emergence of multidrug‐resistant bacteria, and novel approaches to the treatment of bacterial infections are needed. Recently, reported synergistic effects of antibacterial drugs and bacteriophage therapy have revealed promising applications for the management of meticillin ...

Bacteriophages limit the existence conditions for conjugative plasmids [PDF]
Bacteriophages are a major cause of bacterial mortality and impose strong selection on natural bacterial populations, yet their effects on the dynamics of conjugative plasmids have rarely been tested.
