Comprehensive discovery and functional characterization of diverse prophages in the pig gut microbiome [PDF]
Frontiers in MicrobiologyProphages, viruses integrated into bacterial or archaeal genomes, can carry cargo that confers beneficial phenotypes to the host. The porcine gut microbiota constitutes a complex, dynamic, and interconnected ecosystem, yet the distribution of prophages ...
