Larissa Krüger (University of St. Andrews, UK) and colleagues discovered a reversible conjugation mechanism that regulates immune response to phage infection in Bacillus cereus bacteria.

Jason Wilson (University of Sheffield) and colleagues published a new preprint on the molecular mechanism of phage tail contraction, shedding light on the structure of an S-layer-penetrating phage.

Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Berkeley, California, USA is hiring a project scientist, a postdoc, and a research associate for its newly funded Phage Foundry program. Read more about the vision here.

Erin Attrill (University of Exeter) and colleagues found that slow-growing E. coli cells survive phage T4 in isolation, but fast-growing cells survive when surrounded by their clonal kin cells.

The Silveira lab at the University of Miami is searching for a postdoc to investigate phage-bacteria interactions in South Florida ecosystems, like coral reefs, Sargassum blooms, and the Everglades.

Jens Hör (Weizmann Institute of Science) and colleagues have discovered that bacteria conjugate ubiquitin-like proteins to interfere with phage assembly.

Check out iPHoP, a new program that combines and evaluates predictions to reliably match phages with their archaea and bacteria hosts.

University of Miami, USA is hiring a postdoc to investigate phage-bacteria interactions in South Florida ecosystems, with a focus on coral reefs, Sargassum blooms, and the Everglades.

Vivek Mutalik at Lawrence Berkeley National Lab is looking for postdoc researchers to study diverse aspects of phage-host interactions. Check out this Twitter thread and message Vivek if interested.

Exeter University, UK is hiring a Phage Researcher for a PhD Studentship on attenuating Escherichia coli with virulence factor-dependant phage.

Miami Health System is hiring a postdoc to study phage-bacteria interactions in aquatic environments and animal-associated microbiomes.

The Koskella lab at UC Berkeley is seeking a Junior Specialist/Assistant Specialist to assist with a project examining the effect of phage growth with non-host bacterial strains on their morphology and evolution.

Washington University Medical Campus is seeking a Staff Scientist in Molecular Microbiology to study bacterial pathogens and bacteriophage interactions.

Li Deng's lab at Helmholtz Center Munich and the Technical University of Munich is looking for a Ph.D. candidate to develop targeted approaches for manipulating the human microbiome.

Denish Piya and colleagues published a preprint on genome-wide CRISPRi knockdown to map essential elements across whole phage-host genome combinations at once. Their results recapitulate the essential genes determined from decades of analys

The Silveira lab at the University of Miami is seeking a postdoc to investigate phage-bacteria interactions in South Florida ecosystems.

Pulmonary infections caused by Mycobacterium abscessus have been increasing. This study by Mylene Gorzynski and colleagues deepens our understanding of phage–mycobacteria interaction mechanisms and identifies therapeutic phages that can low

Talia Backman and colleagues published a new preprint on how a weaponized phage suppresses competitors in historical and modern metapopulations of pathogenic bacteria. The authors discovered a viral cluster shared amongst pathogenic Pseudom

Yunha Hwang and colleagues found that virus-host interactions in dense hydrothermal mats involve crossing microbial domains and nested metabolisms. They saw that unrelated microbes encode CRISPR immunity against the same viruses, suggesting

The University of Exeter is looking for a postdoctoral research fellow to participate in a project on the role of phage communication systems for phage lysis/lysogeny decisions.
