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 ...

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.
