Prophage Genomics and Ecology in the Family Rhodobacteraceae

Microorganisms, 2021
Roseobacters are globally abundant bacteria with critical roles in carbon and sulfur biogeochemical cycling. Here, we identified 173 new putative prophages in 79 genomes of Rhodobacteraceae.

Prediction and characterization of prophages of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia reveals a remarkable phylogenetic diversity of prophages

Scientific Reports, 2023
Prophages, which enables bacterial hosts to acquire novel traits, and increase genetic variation and evolutionary innovation, are considered to be one of the greatest drivers of bacterial diversity and evolution.

Prediction, Diversity, and Genomic Analysis of Temperate Phages Induced From Shiga Toxin-Producing Escherichia coli Strains

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) is a notorious foodborne pathogen containing stx genes located in the sequence region of Shiga toxin (Stx) prophages.

Cryptic Prophages Contribution for Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli Introgression

Microorganisms, 2022
Campylobacter coli and C. jejuni, the causing agents of campylobacteriosis, are described to be undergoing introgression events, i.e., the transference of genetic material between different species, with some isolates sharing almost a quarter of its ...

Prophage Tracer: precisely tracing prophages in prokaryotic genomes using overlapping split-read alignment [PDF]

Nucleic Acids Research, 2021
Abstract The life cycle of temperate phages includes a lysogenic cycle stage when the phage integrates into the host genome and becomes a prophage. However, the identification of prophages that are highly divergent from known phages remains challenging.

Events following prophage Mu induction [PDF]

Journal of Bacteriology, 1975
Escherichia coli strains lysogenic for a thermoinducible Mu prophage (Mu cts62) undergo rapid lysis about 50 min after heat induction. Induction of Mu cts62 apparently causes damage to the host sequences in which Mu is inserted. The normal expression of A, BU, and X genes of Mu is needed for this specific deleterious effect on the prophage-containing ...

May the Phage be With You? Prophage-Like Elements in the Genomes of Soft Rot Pectobacteriaceae: Pectobacterium spp. and Dickeya spp.

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
Soft Rot Pectobacteriaceae (SRP; Pectobacterium spp. and Dickeya spp., formerly known as pectinolytic Erwinia spp.) are necrotrophic bacterial pathogens infecting a large number of plant species worldwide, including agriculturally-important crops ...
