The short cytoplasmic region of phage T4 holin is essential for the transition from impermeable membrane protein complexes to permeable pores

Frontiers in Microbiology
Virulent as well as temperate phages usually require lysis of bacteria to release their progeny into the surrounding. Double-stranded DNA phages achieve lysis by phage-encoded endolysins that degrade the bacterial cell wall.

Bacteria, phages and septicemia [PDF]

, 2007
The use of phages is an attractive option to battle antibiotic resistant bacteria in certain bacterial infections, but the role of phage ecology in bacterial infections is obscure. Here we surveyed the phage ecology in septicemia, the most severe type of

Novel lineages of single-stranded DNA phages that coevolved with the symbiotic bacteria Rhizobium

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
This study describes novel single-stranded DNA phages isolated from common bean agriculture soils by infection of the nitrogen-fixing symbiotic bacteria Rhizobium etli and R. phaseoli. A total of 29 phages analyzed have 4.3–6 kb genomes in size and GC 59–

Identification of Cohesive Ends and Genes Encoding the Terminase of Phage 16-3 [PDF]

, 2005
Cohesive ends of 16-3, a temperate phage of Rhizobium meliloti 41, have been identified as 10-base-long, 3′-protruding complementary G/C-rich sequences. terS and terL encode the two subunits of 16-3 terminase.

Isolation and characterisation of Klebsiella phages for phage therapy [PDF]

PHAGE: Therapy, Applications, and Research, 2020
Abstract Klebsiella is a clinically important pathogen causing a variety of antimicrobial resistant infections in both community and nosocomial settings, particularly pneumonia, urinary tract infection and sepsis. Bacteriophage (phage) therapy is being considered as a primary option for the treatment

Investigation of the Phageome and Prophages in French Cider, a Fermented Beverage

Microorganisms, 2022
Phageomes are known to play a key role in the functioning of their associated microbial communities. The phageomes of fermented foods have not been studied thoroughly in fermented foods yet, and even less in fermented beverages.
