Morphological characterization of virus-like particles in coral reef sponges [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 Marine sponges host complex microbial consortia that vary in their abundance, diversity and stability amongst host species. While our understanding of sponge-microbe interactions has dramatically increased over the past decade, little is known about how ...

Bacteriophages: Ecological role in the marine environment and potential applications [PDF]
Egyptian Journal of Aquatic Biology and Fisheries, 2020 Bacteriophages are the most plentiful organisms on the earth and they are a ubiquitous trait of prokaryotic existence. They exist in all environments as a part of a complex microbial ecosystem. A phage is a virus that can infect bacteria where the distribution and abundance are based on the host organisms.

Bacteriophages limit the existence conditions for conjugative plasmids [PDF]
, 2015 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.

Alternative mechanism for bacteriophage adsorption to the motile bacterium Caulobacter crescentus [PDF]
, 2011 2D and 3D cryo-electron microscopy, together with adsorption kinetics assays of ϕCb13 and ϕCbK phage-infected Caulobacter crescentus, provides insight into the mechanisms of infection.

iMetaOmics, EarlyView.Estuaries are vital hotspots for antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) due to substantial antibiotic pollution. Although viruses have been proposed as key reservoirs and important disseminators of ARGs in environments, their contribution to the estuarine antibiotic resistome remains largely unknown.

Marine crude-oil biodegradation: a central role for interspecies interactions [PDF]
, 2012 The marine environment is highly susceptible to pollution by petroleum, and so it is important to understand how microorganisms degrade hydrocarbons, and thereby mitigate ecosystem damage. Our understanding about the ecology, physiology, biochemistry and

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Bacteriophages impact soil bacteria through lysis, altering the availability of organic carbon and plant nutrients. However, the magnitude of nutrient uptake by plants from lysed bacteria remains unknown, partly because this process is challenging to investigate in the field.
