Prophage-triggered membrane vesicle formation through peptidoglycan damage in Bacillus subtilis

Nature Communications, 2017
Bacteria release membrane vesicles (MVs) that play important roles in various biological processes. However, the mechanisms of MV formation in Gram-positive bacteria are unclear, as these cells possess a single cytoplasmic membrane that is surrounded by ...

Prophage encoding toxin/antitoxin system PfiT/PfiA inhibits Pf4 production in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Microbial Biotechnology, 2020
Pf prophages are ssDNA filamentous prophages that are prevalent among various Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains. The genomes of Pf prophages contain not only core genes encoding functions involved in phage replication, structure and assembly but also ...

Defense Systems and Prophage Detection in Streptococcus mutans Strains

Molecular Oral Microbiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Although the species is extensively studied, limited data are available on antiphage defense systems (APDSs) in Streptococcus mutans. The present study aimed to explore the diversity and the occurrence of APDSs and to search for prophages in the genomes of clinical isolates of S. mutans using bioinformatics tools.

Exploring the Potential and Evaluating Hydrocarbon Degradation by Novel Antarctic Dietzia and Pusillimonas Isolates From a Pristine Environment

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 1, February 2026.
The Antarctic Dietzia and Pusillimonas isolates were tested for bioremediation applications. Genomic analyses revealed the potential to degrade complex organic compounds, potential virulence factors and resistance genes. Physiological assays showed a wide range of adaptation to abiotic factors and sensitivity to different groups of antibiotics ...

The Factors Involved in Plant–Insect–Microbe Interactions Expanded: Genome Analysis and Description of Frigoribacterium adelgis sp. nov.

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 1, February 2026.
Aerobic Actinobacteria belonging to the genus Frigoribacterium were isolated from adelgid Adelges (Aphrastasia) pectinatae collected from a Korean fir tree. Genomic analysis showed that these bacteria encode a range of factors that may be involved in the interactions between Frigoribacterium strains, adelgids and/or Korean fir trees.

Isolation, identification, and pathogenic potential of Bacillus cereus from diseased big‐belly seahorse Hippocampus abdominalis

Journal of the World Aquaculture Society, Volume 57, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract Members of Bacillus cereus have been documented as important bacterial pathogens in aquaculture. However, scarce information is available on B. cereus isolates as causal pathogens of big‐belly seahorses Hippocampus abdominalis. In the present study, a B. cereus isolate (SH1), recovered from a disease outbreak on a seahorse farm, was identified

Genomic Insights Into the Treponema Genus: Taxonomic Resolution of Treponema vincentii and Description of Two Novel Species, Treponema plautii sp. nov. and Treponema sinense sp. nov.

Molecular Oral Microbiology, Volume 41, Issue 1, Page 26-37, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Objectives Periodontal disease, a global health concern, is strongly associated with oral treponemes. However, the taxonomy of some species remains unresolved, hindering our understanding of their roles in disease. This study aims to clarify the taxonomy of three strains isolated from patients with periodontal disease using phylogenomic and ...
