Extracellular vesicles are produced by species across all domains of life, suggesting that
vesiculation represents a fundamental principle of living matter. In Gram-negative bacteria …

Most bacteria release membrane vesicles (MVs) that contain specific cargo molecules and
have diverse functions, including the transport of virulence factors, DNA transfer, interception …

We present an extension of the Minimum Information about any (x) Sequence (MIxS)
standard for reporting sequences of uncultivated virus genomes. Minimum Information about …

Viruses numerically dominate our oceans; however, we have only just begun to document
the diversity, host range and infection dynamics of marine viruses, as well as the subsequent …

Cells from all three domains of life, Archaea, Bacteria and Eukarya, produce extracellular
vesicles (EVs) which are sometimes associated with filamentous structures known as …

All bacteria produce secreted vesicles that carry out a variety of important biological
functions. These extracellular vesicles can improve adaptation and survival by relieving …

Biofilms, which are essential vectors of bacterial survival, protect microbes from antibiotics
and host immune attack and are one of the leading causes that maintain drug-resistant …

In wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs), the stable operation of biological wastewater
treatment is strongly dependent on the stability of associated microbiota. Bacteriophages …

Outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) produced by Gram-negative bacteria package various
cargo, including DNA that can be transferred to other bacteria or to host cells. OMV …

Marine picocyanobacteria of the Prochlorococcus and Synechococcus genera have been
longtime considered as autotrophic organisms. However, compelling evidence published …
