Viruses have developed sophisticated biochemical and genetic mechanisms to manipulate
and exploit their hosts. Enzymes derived from viruses have been essential research tools …

Until recently, the data on the diversity of the entire microbial community from the Baltic Sea
were relatively rare and very scarce. However, modern molecular methods have provided …

This work reports detailed characteristics of the antimicrobial peptide Intestinalin (P30),
which is derived from the LysC enzyme of Clostridium intestinale strain URNW. The peptide …

This paper presents the first in-depth research on the biological and genomic properties of
lytic rhizobiophage AP-J-162 isolated from the soils of the mountainous region of Dagestan …

Developing new strategies to replace or supplement antibiotics to combat bacterial infection
is a pressing task in the field of microbiological research. In this study, we report a lytic …

We present a structural and functional analysis of the DNA polymerase of thermophilic
Thermus thermophilus MAT72 phage vB_Tt72. The enzyme shows low sequence identity (< …

Saccharolobus (formerly Sulfolobus) shibatae B12, isolated from a hot spring in Beppu,
Japan in 1982, is one of the first hyperthermophilic and acidophilic archaeal species to be …

Bacteriophages encode a wide variety of cell wall disrupting enzymes that aid the viral
escape in the final stages of infection. These lytic enzymes have accumulated notable …

This study describes the structure of DNA polymerase I from Thermus phage G20c, termed
PolI_G20c. This is the first structure of a DNA polymerase originating from a group of related …

Clostridium botulinum is a Gram-positive, anaerobic, spore-forming bacterium capable of
producing botulinum toxin and responsible for botulism of humans and animals. Phage …
