CRISPR Immunity Drives Rapid Phage Genome Evolution in
mBio, 2015 Many bacteria rely on CRISPR-Cas systems to provide adaptive immunity against phages, predation by which can shape the ecology and functioning of microbial communities.

What does the talking?: quorum sensing signalling genes discovered in a bacteriophage genome. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 The transfer of novel genetic material into the genomes of bacterial viruses (phages) has been widely documented in several host-phage systems. Bacterial genes are incorporated into the phage genome and, if retained, subsequently evolve within them.

Explaining microbial population genomics through phage predation [PDF]
, 2009 The remarkable diversity of genes within the pool of prokaryotic genomes belonging to the same species or pan-genome is difficult to reconcile with the widely accepted paradigm which asserts that periodic selection within bacterial populations would ...

Genetically distant bacteriophages select for unique genomic changes in Enterococcus faecalis
MicrobiologyOpen, 2022 The human microbiota harbors diverse bacterial and bacteriophage (phage) communities. Bacteria evolve to overcome phage infection, thereby driving phage evolution to counter bacterial resistance. Understanding how phages select for genetic alterations in
