Taxonomic classification of archaeal and bacterial viruses is challenging, yet also
fundamental for developing a predictive understanding of microbial ecosystems. Recent …

Nucleus-forming phages (chimalliviruses) encode numerous genes responsible for creating
intricate structures for viral replication. Research on this newly appreciated family of phages …

We recently discovered that some bacteriophages establish a nucleus-like replication
compartment (phage nucleus), but the core genes that define nucleus-based phage …

Motivation Bacteriophages (aka phages), which mainly infect bacteria, play key roles in the
biology of microbes. As the most abundant biological entities on the planet, the number of …

Pseudomonas syringae pv. porri, the causative agent of bacterial blight in leek (Allium
porrum), is increasingly frequent causing problems in leek cultivation. Because of the current …

Bacteriophage therapy is currently resurging as a potential complement/alternative to
antibiotic treatment. However, preclinical evaluation lacks streamlined approaches. We here …

ABSTRACT A novel lytic bacteriophage, ValSw3-3, which efficiently infects pathogenic
strains of Vibrio alginolyticus, was isolated from sewage water and characterized by …

We here describe two novel lytic phages, KT28 and KTN6, infecting Pseudomonas
aeruginosa, isolated from a sewage sample from an irrigated field near Wroclaw, in Poland …

Vibro cyclitrophicus is thought to be responsible for the cause of severe infection in juvenile
sea cucumber (Apostichopus japonicus). Increases in the prevalence of antibiotic resistant …

Summary Pseudomonas virus vB_PaeM_PA5oct is proposed as a model jumbo
bacteriophage to investigate phage‐bacteria interactions and is a candidate for phage …
