Viruses, most of which infect microorganisms, are the most abundant biological entities on
the planet. Identifying and measuring the community dynamics of viruses in the environment …

Most of the dissimilarity between Staphylococcus aureus strains is due to the presence of
mobile genetic elements such as bacteriophages or pathogenicity islands. These elements …

Microbiomes from every environment contain a myriad of uncultivated archaeal and
bacterial viruses, but studying these viruses is hampered by the lack of a universal, scalable …

Motivation Bacterial and archaeal viruses are crucial for global biogeochemical cycles and
might well be game-changing therapeutic agents in the fight against multi-resistant …

With this informal guide, we try to assist both new and experienced phage researchers
through two important stages that follow phage discovery; that is, naming and classification …

Every biotechnology process that relies on the use of bacteria to make a product or to
overproduce a molecule may, at some time, struggle with the presence of virulent phages …

Microbes and microbiology are seldom encountered in philosophical accounts of the life
sciences. Although microbiology is a well-established science and microbes the basis of life …

This review highlights the main strategies available to control phage infection during large-
scale milk fermentation by lactic acid bacteria. The topics that are emphasized include the …

For this study, an in-depth review of the classification of Lactococcus lactis phages was
performed. Reference phages as well as unclassified phages from international collections …

Genome Relationship Applied to Virus Taxonomy (GRAViTy) is a genetics-based tool that
computes sequence relatedness between viruses. Composite generalized Jaccard (CGJ) …
