Review: Interactions between bacterial and phage communities in natural environments

Paper: Phage-inducible chromosomal islands promote genetic variability by blocking phage reproduction and protecting transductants from phage lysis. See also what author Rodrigo Ibarra Chavez has to say about it on twitter: "phage satellite

Paper: Genome-driven elucidation of phage-host interplay and impact of phage resistance evolution on bacterial fitness

Postdoc: bacteria-phage interactions with computational biology or molecular genetics.

Paper: Resolving the structure of phage-bacteria interactions in the context of natural diversity.

Preprint: a novel locally c-di-GMP-controlled exopolysaccharide synthase is required for phage N4 Infection of E. coli.

Paper: Digital phagograms: predicting phage infectivity through a multilayer machine learning approach. See Dimi Boeckaerts’ Twitter thread for key points.

Phage-encoded sigma factors alter bacterial dormancy

Systematic exploration of E. coli phage–host interactions with the BASEL phage collection.

Cell wall deficiency may limit the efficacy of phage therapy.

Viruses modulate carbon cycling, but it's been unknown whether they're active under winter conditions. Gareth Trubl (Lawrence Livermore National Lab) and colleagues published a new paper on active virus-host interactions at sub-freezing tem

Anne Chevallereau (University of Exeter, UK) and colleagues published a review in Nature Reviews Microbiology showing interactions between bacterial and phage communities in natural environments.

The Silveira Lab at University of Miami Health System (Coral Gables, Florida) is hiring a post doctoral associate to investigate the tripartite relationship between phages, bacteria, and corals, through marine environments and animal-associ

Jessica Sacher (University of Alberta) and colleagues published a new paper in Viruses showing that reduced infection efficiency of phage NCTC 12673 on non-motile Campylobacter jejuni strains is related to oxidative stress. They uncovered a

The Papenfort laboratory at the Friedrich Schiller University of Jena (Germany) studies gene regulation in microbial pathogens, and is recruiting postdocs and/or PhD students to employ genetic tools and synthetic RNAs to study phage-host in

Audrey Labarde (Université Paris-Saclay, France) and colleagues published a paper in PNAS on temporal compartmentalization of viral infection in bacterial cells. They showed that infection of Bacillus subtilis by phage SPP1 hijacks host rep

Lawrence Berkeley National Lab (Bay Area, California) is hiring a biologist postdoctoral fellow to develop and apply methods to isolate novel phages, study host-phage interaction determinants, use viral metagenomic and metatranscriptomic da

Joshua Kirsch (University of Colorado School of Medicine) and colleagues published a new review in Annual Review of Virology on phage-bacteria interactions in the gut, from invertebrates to mammals. They discuss diverse interactions, includ
