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

An Efficient, Counter-Selection-Based Method for Prophage Curing in Pseudomonas aeruginosa Strains
Viruses, 2021 Prophages are bacteriophages in the lysogenic state, where the viral genome is inserted within the bacterial chromosome. They contribute to strain genetic variability and can influence bacterial phenotypes. Prophages are highly abundant among the strains

Identification of prophages in bacterial genomes by dinucleotide relative abundance difference. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2007 BACKGROUND: Prophages are integrated viral forms in bacterial genomes that have been found to contribute to interstrain genetic variability. Many virulence-associated genes are reported to be prophage encoded.
