High-throughput screening reveals diverse lambdoid prophage inducers [PDF]
Microbiology SpectrumProphages, dormant bacteriophage genomes integrated within the bacterial chromosome, play pivotal roles in shaping microbial communities when awakened. Our current understanding of prophage activation is largely shaped by a narrow set of traditional DNA ...

Genome-based identification of active prophage regions by next generation sequencing in Bacillus licheniformis DSM13. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Prophages are viruses, which have integrated their genomes into the genome of a bacterial host. The status of the prophage genome can vary from fully intact with the potential to form infective particles to a remnant state where only a few phage genes ...

Identification of novel prophage regions in Xenorhabdus nematophila genome and gene expression analysis during phage-like particle induction [PDF]
PeerJ, 2022 Background Entomopathogenic Xenorhabdus bacteria are endosymbionts of Steinernema nematodes and together they form an insecticidal mutualistic association that infects a wide range of insect species. Xenorhabdus produce an arsenal of toxins and secondary
