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 ...

Comparative genomics of Shiga toxin encoding bacteriophages [PDF]
, 2012 Background Stx bacteriophages are responsible for driving the dissemination of Stx toxin genes (stx) across their bacterial host range. Lysogens carrying Stx phages can cause severe, lifethreatening disease and Stx toxin is an integral virulence factor.

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.

The DNA Ejection Process in Bacteriophage λ [PDF]
, 2007 Bacteriophages have long served as model systems through which the nature of life may be explored. From a physical or mechanical point of view, phages are excellent examples of natural nanotechnology: they are nanometer-scale systems which depend ...

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

Genome Sequence of Arthrobacter Phage NathanVaag
Microbiology Resource Announcements, 2022 We report the genome sequence of bacteriophage NathanVaag, an actinobacteriophage isolated from soil in El Paso, Texas, that infects Arthrobacter sp. strain ATCC 21022. The 49,645-bp genome contains 73 predicted protein-coding genes.
