Ecology of prophage-like elements in Bacillus subtilis at global and local geographical scales

open access: yesCell Reports
Summary: Prophages constitute a substantial portion of bacterial genomes, yet their effects on hosts remain poorly understood. We examine the abundance, distribution, and activity of prophages in Bacillus subtilis using computational and laboratory ...

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

open access: yesFrontiers 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 ...

Diverse Prophage Elements of Salmonella enterica Serovars Show Potential Roles in Bacterial Pathogenicity

open access: yesCells
Nontyphoidal salmonellosis is an important foodborne and zoonotic infection that causes significant global public health concern. Diverse serovars are multidrug-resistant and encode several virulence indicators; however, little is known on the role ...

Frequent Sweetened Beverage Consumption Is Associated With Accelerated Biological Aging: Evidence From a Population‐Based Study and Gut Microbiota Analysis

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Frequent sweetened beverage consumption is associated with accelerated biological aging in a large Chinese population. Five gut microbial genera are consistently enriched in both frequent sweetened beverage consumers and individuals with accelerated aging and show significant mediating effects, suggesting a potential microbiota‐related pathway linking ...

Plasmid-Mediated Stabilization of Prophages

open access: yesmSphere, 2022
The consequences of prophage induction on the physiology of microbial populations are varied and include enhanced biofilm formation, conferral of virulence, and increased opportunity for horizontal gene transfer. These traits lead to competitive advantages for lysogenized bacteria and influence bacterial lifestyles in a variety of niches.

Prevalence, diversity, and parasitism of tailed prophages in Vibrio harveyi

open access: yesmSphere
Vibrio harveyi, a pathogenic bacterium, contains prophages that significantly influence its pathogenesis and evolutionary traits. Investigating the prevalence, evolution, and ecological roles of these prophages is of great importance as V.

Antarctic soil microbiomes encode structurally conserved and phylogenetically diverse beta‐lactamases

open access: yesiMetaOmics, EarlyView.
An integrative metagenomic framework combining sequence, structural, and functional inference reveals a phylogenetically diverse and structurally conserved repertoire of putative beta‐lactamases across Antarctic soil microbiomes, with predominance of class A and subclass B3 enzymes and limited but detectable associations with mobile genetic elements ...

Investigation of Citrus HLB Symptom Variations Associated with “Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus” Strains Harboring Different Phages in Southern China

open access: yesAgronomy, 2021
Huanglongbing (HLB) is a devastating disease affecting citrus production worldwide. In China, the disease is associated with an unculturable alpha-proteobacterium, “Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus” (CLas).

Evidence tiers for strain‐resolved long‐read metagenomics

open access: yesiMetaOmics, EarlyView.
Long‐read metagenomics links variants, repeats, and mobile elements across individual molecules and can reveal lineage turnover that is obscured at the species level. The strength of the resulting inference, however, depends on the type and genomic span of the recovered linkage. We distinguish four evidence units—strain profiles, local haplotype blocks,
