Paired bacterial and viral metagenomes from the guts of 49 individual honeybees, with a phage-bacteria interaction network built from CRISPR spacer matches and genome homology, show that viral and bacterial diversity are correlated, particu

A team of Imperial scientists from Life Sciences and Medicine has received approximately £2.7 million through a Wellcome Trust Discovery Award to study capsid-forming phage-inducible chromosomal islands (cf-PICIs), which release tail-less c

University of Toronto researchers report in Nature that the phage protein Zip reduces the number and length of pili on Pseudomonas aeruginosa and, they hypothesize, prevents self-infection so that viral progeny can reach new hosts, a phenom

Lake Forest College alumna Laurel Robbins (’23), a PhD candidate in biochemistry at the University of Colorado Boulder, received a 2025 National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship, securing funding for tuition, stipend and fees

Bemidji State University senior Bill Ketola, working in Dr Holly LaFerriere's lab, isolated a previously uncatalogued phage from a soil sample and named it Jant. It is lytic against Mycobacterium smegmatis, a safe lab bacterium that shares

Afif Jati (Monash University) and colleagues published a new paper in npj Viruses on how highly stable phages PIN1 and PIN2 have hallmarks of flagellotropic phages but infect immotile bacteria.

Taruna Anand and colleagues (Indian Council of Agricultural Research) created a new educational phage app, providing an educational resource on phage biology, detection techniques, properties, and applications in therapy for students, resea

Zhang and colleagues, including Franklin Nobrega, report in Cell that the widespread two-component Kiwa defence system, a transmembrane sensor KwaA and a DNA-binding effector KwaB, assembles into a large membrane-associated supercomplex (cr

NASA's July 15, 2025 research preview for the SpaceX Crew-11 mission lists Genes in Space-12, a student-designed DNA experiment that examines the effects of microgravity on interactions between certain bacteria and bacteriophages, among inv

A PNAS study isolated 66 phage escape mutants against 13 plasmid-encoded lactococcal antiphage systems and found 15 mutated genes, and proposes that the Audmula system modifies the host cell wall, delaying lysis and release of progeny phage

Rand and colleagues present Phage DisCo (phage discovery by co-culture) in mSystems: bacterial strains that are isogenic except for fluorescent tags and one perturbation expected to affect phage infection are co-cultured on the same screeni
