A new Canadian phage CRO, Qeen Bio is offering a variety of services including phage characterization, cell banking, fermentation, downstream processing, formulation, lab services for phage clinical trials, and regulatory consulting for pha

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.

Pedro Leao (University of Texas, Austin) and colleagues have determined that the Asgardarchaeota, a group of archaea related to eukaryotes, played important roles in the evolution of viral protection in eukaryotes.

Justin Leavitt (University of Utah) and colleagues report that the P22-encoded SieA protein is the only phage protein required for exclusion by the SieA system, blocking DNA injection by P22 and its relatives, but having no effect on infect

Researchers at the World Institute of Kimchi found that Pediococcus inopinatus is generally dominant in Mukeunji, long-term fermented kimchi in the final stage of fermentation. Its genome has a well-developed CRISPR system with an extra cop
