Osmotic pressure: resisting or promoting DNA ejection from phage [PDF]
Recent in vitro experiments have shown that DNA ejection from bacteriophage can be partially stopped by surrounding osmotic pressure when ejected DNA is digested by DNase I on the course of ejection.

Propionibacterium acnes bacteriophages display limited genetic diversity and broad killing activity against bacterial skin isolates. [PDF]
UnlabelledInvestigation of the human microbiome has revealed diverse and complex microbial communities at distinct anatomic sites. The microbiome of the human sebaceous follicle provides a tractable model in which to study its dominant bacterial ...

The genome of the Lactobacillus sanfranciscensis temperate phage EV3 [PDF]
Bacteriophages infection modulates microbial consortia and transduction is one of the most important mechanism involved in the bacterial evolution. However, phage contamination brings food fermentations to a halt causing economic setbacks. The number of phage genome sequences of lactic acid bacteria especially of lactobacilli is still limited.

The Genome of the Novel Phage Rtp, with a Rosette-Like Tail Tip, IsHomologous to the Genome of Phage T1 [PDF]
ABSTRACTAnewEscherichia coliphage, named Rtp, was isolated and shown to be closely related to phage T1. Electron microscopy revealed that phage Rtp has a morphologically unique tail tip consisting of four leaf-like structures arranged in a rosette, whereas phage T1 has thinner, flexible leaves that thicken toward the ends.

Programming virulent bacteriophages by developing a multiplex genome engineering method
The use of virulent bacteriophages (phages) against pathogenic bacteria has recently attracted considerable interest. The limitations of naturally isolated phages have promoted the development of genome engineering methods to optimize their functions ...
