A mathematical model of marine bacteriophage evolution [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2018 To explore how particularities of a host cell–virus system, and in particular host cell replication, affect viral evolution, in this paper we formulate a mathematical model of marine bacteriophage evolution.

A bacteriophage-related chimeric marine virus infecting abalone.
PLoS ONE, 2010 Marine viruses shape microbial communities with the most genetic diversity in the sea by multiple genetic exchanges and infect multiple marine organisms. Here we provide proof from experimental infection that abalone shriveling syndrome-associated virus (

Bacteriophage Infection of the Marine Bacterium Shewanella glacialimarina Induces Dynamic Changes in tRNA Modifications [PDF]
Microorganisms, 2023 Viruses are obligate intracellular parasites that, throughout evolution, have adapted numerous strategies to control the translation machinery, including the modulation of post-transcriptional modifications (PTMs) on transfer RNA (tRNA).

Bacterial and Bacteriophage Antibiotic Resistance in Marine Bathing Waters in Relation to Rivers and Urban Streams [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021 Fecal pollution of surface water may introduce bacteria and bacteriophages harboring antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) into the aquatic environment. Watercourses discharging into the marine environment, especially close to designated bathing waters, may

Bacteriophage T7 DNA polymerase — Sequenase [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2014 An ideal DNA polymerase for chain-terminating DNA sequencing should possess the following features: 1) incorporate dideoxy- and other modified nucleotides at an efficiency similar to that of the cognate deoxynucleotides; 2) high processivity; 3) high ...

Marine bacteriophages disturb the associated microbiota of Aurelia aurita with a recoverable effect on host morphology [PDF]
Frontiers in MicrobiologyThe concept of the metaorganism describes a multicellular host and its diverse microbial community, which form one biological unit with a combined genetic repertoire that significantly influences health and survival of the host.
