The rapid antiphage mutation of pathogens is a big challenge often encountered in the
application of phages in aquaculture, animal husbandry, and human disease prevention. A …

Bacterial viruses (phages) are potent agents of lateral gene transfer and thus are important
drivers of evolution. A group of mobile genetic elements, referred to as phage satellites …

Abstract Background Southwest China is one of the largest karst regions in the world. Karst
environment is relatively fragile and vulnerable to human activities. Due to the discharge of …

A novel virulent bacteriophage vB_EcoM_swi3 (swi3), isolated from swine feces, lyzed
9%(6/65) of Escherichia coli and isolates 54%(39/72) of Salmonella enteritidis isolates …

Quorum sensing (QS) plays an important role in phage-host interactions. Shewanella baltica
can't produce the N-acyl-homoserine lactones (AHLs) signal molecules but can eavesdrop …

Abstract gLiving materials can achieve unprecedented function by combining synthetic
materials with the wide range of cellular functions. Of interest are situations where the critical …

Abstract Selenium (Se) and tellurium (Te) contaminations in soils and water bodies have
been widely reported in recent years. Se (IV) and Te (IV) were regarded as their most …

Microbial electrochemical systems offer a sustainable method for the conversion of chemical
energy into electrical energy or hydrogen and the production of valuable compounds …

In this study, we isolated and characterized three novel virulent Autographiviridae
bacteriophages, vB_AspA_Bolek, vB_AspA_Lolek, and vB_AspA_Tola, which infect different …

Phage-induced lysis of Gram-negative bacterial hosts usually requires a set of phage lysis
proteins, a holin, an endopeptidase, and a spanin system, to disrupt each of the three cell …
