Characterization of prophages in bacterial genomes from the honey bee (Apis mellifera) gut microbiome [PDF]
PeerJ, 2023 The gut of the European honey bee (Apis mellifera) possesses a relatively simple bacterial community, but little is known about its community of prophages (temperate bacteriophages integrated into the bacterial genome).

Comparative analysis of prophage-like elements in Helicobacter sp. genomes [PDF]
PeerJ, 2016 Prophages are regarded as one of the factors underlying bacterial virulence, genomic diversification, and fitness, and are ubiquitous in bacterial genomes. Information on Helicobacter sp. prophages remains scarce.

Microbiology and Molecular Biology Reviews, 2003 SUMMARY The majority of the bacterial genome sequences deposited in the National Center for Biotechnology Information database contain prophage sequences. Analysis of the prophages suggested that after being integrated into bacterial genomes, they undergo a complex decay process consisting of inactivating point mutations ...

Prophage Hunter: an integrative hunting tool for active prophages [PDF]
Nucleic Acids Research, 2019 Abstract Identifying active prophages is critical for studying coevolution of phage and bacteria, investigating phage physiology and biochemistry, and engineering designer phages for diverse applications. We present Prophage Hunter, a tool aimed at hunting for active prophages from whole genome assembly of bacteria.

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.

PLoS Pathogens, 2009 Bacteriophages are major genetic factors promoting horizontal gene transfer (HGT) between bacteria. Their roles in dynamic bacterial genome evolution have been increasingly highlighted by the fact that many sequenced bacterial genomes contain multiple prophages carrying a wide range of genes. Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli O157 is the most striking
