Researchers: want to help develop a phage-based TB diagnostic? Consider sharing samples from previous studies with the team at PDB Biotech. Dr. Timothy Rodwell’s lab at UCSD has already donated over 2,000 frozen PBMC samples for this work,

Nicole Schmid (University of Giessen) and colleagues have described the interactions between a Shewanella inovirus and an autonomously replicating plasmid, which hijacks the phage infection process to preferentially package itself.

Jie-Liang Liang (South China Normal University) and colleagues published a new paper on diversity and ecological function of phosphorus acquisition genes in phages. Their work points to an underestimated role of phages in biogeochemical pho
