Unlocking the M13 (F1) virion : investigation into the role of pIII C domain of F specific filamentous bacteriophage in infection : a thesis presented in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Biochemistry at Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand [PDF]
, 2005 Filamentous phage adsorb to the host cells by binding of the N2 domain of pIII to the tip of the F pilus. Binding of N1 domain of pIII to the secondary receptor (Tol A), triggers the opening of the virion by a poorly understood mechanism.

Genome-scale top-down reduction of phages to generate viable minimal phage genomes
, 2021 Abstract Reduction of tailed-phage genomes to generate viable minimal genome phages is important for expanding our understanding of phage biology, providing insights for phage synthetic biology. Many efforts have been made to minimize living cells, but such work remains a challenge for phages due to the extraordinary genomic diversity and lack ...

Phage inducible islands in the gram-positive cocci [PDF]
, 2016 The SaPIs are a cohesive subfamily of extremely common phage-inducible chromosomal islands (PICIs) that reside quiescently at specific att sites in the staphylococcal chromosome and are induced by helper phages to excise and replicate.

Osmotic pressure: resisting or promoting DNA ejection from phage [PDF]
, 2008 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.

Genome Sequence of Bacillus Phage Saddex
Microbiology Resource Announcements, 2018 The complete genome of Bacillus phage Saddex was determined and annotated in this study. Saddex has distinct sections with similarities to other Bacillus phages, such as Kida, even though these phages were isolated more than 800 km apart by separate laboratories.
