High-throughput screening reveals diverse lambdoid prophage inducers

Microbiology Spectrum
Prophages, 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 ...

Genomic footprint of a shared Type 5 prophage in “Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus” and “Candidatus Liberibacter africanus,” two destructive bacterial pathogens of citrus Huanglongbing

Applied and Environmental Microbiology
Huanglongbing (HLB) is a bacterial disease that affects citrus trees and is considered the most severe citrus disease in the world. The three HLB-associated “Ca.

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.

Studies of bacteriophages induced from Streptococcus cremoris strain R1 : is R1 a double Lysogen? : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Genetics at Massey University, New Zealand [PDF]

, 1979
Early studies on Streptococcus cremoris strain R₁ suggested that it was polylysogenic. Later, it was reported that its induced lysates contained bacteriophages (phages) of two types which were believed to differ in their morphology, buoyant densities ...

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.

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.
