Bacteriophages (phages) can devastate bacterial strains that are used in fermentations and bioprocesses. Comparative genomic analyses can be used to streamline the construction of genetic systems ...

A bacteriophage is a type of virus that infects bacteria. In fact, the word "bacteriophage" literally means "bacteria eater," because bacteriophages destroy their host cells. All bacteriophages ...

"Despite the fact that Sxt1 does not differ very much in the genomic sequence, it infects bacteria in a different way. Our investigation began by examining the genes encoded in this bacteriophage ...

They thrive on the abundant biopolymer lignocellulose, depending upon a phy-logenetically diverse community of hindgut microbes including Bacteria, Archaea, and unicellular amitochondriate Eukarya for ...

However, the bacteriophage name reveals its useful purpose: It is a bacteria eater that can infect and destroy bacteria. Bacteriophages infecting bacteria, illustration. In their paper ...

The bacteriophage protein (green) does not kill bacteria when the DNA repair protein is absent (left). It kills bacteria by inhibiting division (elongated bacteria) only when the DNA repair ...

Larry Gold upon his arrival at the Department of Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology. Starting with basic research on bacteria and bacteriophage, the lab shifted its focus to human disease ...

Bacteriophage MarketThe global bacteriophage market, valued at USD 45.07 million in 2023, is projected to reach USD 68 million by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 4.2% over the forecast period. The ...

Prof. Lindell's research group has been exploring this field for years and has already made dramatic discoveries about bacteriophage-bacteria interactions in marine environments. Their new study ...
