Campylobacter prophage diversity reveals pervasive recombination between prophages from different Campylobacter species

Microbiology Spectrum
ABSTRACT Prophages, bacteriophages integrated into bacterial genomes, play a critical role in the genetic diversity and evolution of bacterial species. In this study, we investigated the prophage population harbored in Campylobacter species.

Unveiling the role of phages in shaping the periodontal microbial ecosystem

mSystems
The oral microbiome comprises various species and plays a crucial role in maintaining the oral ecosystem and host health. Phages are an important component of the periodontal microbiome, yet our understanding of periodontal phages remains limited.

Control of lysogeny and antiphage defense by a prophage-encoded kinase-phosphatase module

Nature Communications
The filamentous ‘Pf’ bacteriophages of Pseudomonas aeruginosa play roles in biofilm formation and virulence, but mechanisms governing Pf prophage activation in biofilms are unclear.

Induction of Mutations in a Bacterial Virus [PDF]

, 1953
In the course of experiments designed for other purposes a paradoxical observation was made: phage λ, inactivated by UV irradiation, when adsorbed onto sensitive bacteria was reactivated when a further dose of UV was given to the phage-bacterium ...

Prophage-DB: A comprehensive database to explore diversity, distribution, and ecology of prophages

AbstractBackgroundViruses that infect prokaryotes (phages) constitute the most abundant group of biological agents, playing pivotal roles in microbial systems. They are known to impact microbial community dynamics, microbial ecology, and evolution. Efforts to document the diversity, host range, infection dynamics, and effects of bacteriophage infection

PhagePro: prophage finding tool

, 2021
Bacteriophages are viruses that infect bacteria and use them to reproduce. Their reproductive cycle can be lytic or lysogenic. The lytic cycle leads to the bacteria death, given that the bacteriophage hijacks hosts machinery to produce phage parts necessary to assemble a new complete bacteriophage, until cell wall lyse occurs.
