Paper: Degradation of host translational machinery drives tRNA acquisition in viruses, by Joy Y. Yang et al.

Paper: Phage co-transport with hyphal-riding bacteria fuels bacterial invasion in a water-unsaturated microbial model system, by Xin You et al.

Paper: A new sugar for an old phage: a c-di-GMP-dependent polysaccharide pathway sensitizes Escherichia coli for bacteriophage infection — Benjamin Sellner et al.

Paper: Lambda phage ‘counts’ the number of coinfecting viruses and then uses this to assess the abundance of potential hosts and decide whether to become dormant. This single-cell tool illuminates how! — Tianyou Yao et al.

A Tel Aviv University study led by Prof. Avigdor Eldar with Weizmann Institute partners (Nature Microbiology, December 2021) found that a dormant phage listens, via a receptor, to the arbitrium signal molecules its host produces to learn wh

Professor to study phage biology and biocontrol for food safety at the University of Copenhagen, Denmark

USF researchers adapted the polony method to quantify gokushoviruses, one of the least understood groups of phages, for the first time; they may be more abundant than previously thought. Their ecological role remains unknown. University of

Paper: Classification of in vitro phage–host population growth dynamics

Viral egress via secretin pores in the bacterial host cell membrane reduces cell damage

New ecological and genetic insights from studying viral communities of hot spring phototrophic microbial mats

David Picton (Durham University, UK) and colleagues published a new paper in Nucleic Acids Research showing the phage defence island of a multidrug resistant plasmid uses both BREX and type IV restriction for complementary protection from v

North Carolina State University, NC is hiring a research scholar to develop methods in phage engineering, recombinant protein production, and CRISPR technologies.

The Taylor Group at The Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Protein Research (the University of Copenhagen, Denmark) is recruiting a PhD fellow in structural biology to use cryo-electron microscopy combined with functional techniques to stud

Recognition for the importance of studying phages is growing! Frontiers in Microbiology has introduced a new Phage Biology section!

This teaching module uses PHASTER and other freely available tools for phage genome identification and phylogenetic analysis in undergraduate microbiology courses. The exercises were field-tested in classes and undergraduate directed resear

A one-year Research Fellow position is available in the lab of Dr. Nicholas Waterfield in the Warwick Medical School. This will be an Innovate UK funded post, working on a project led by recent University of Warwick spin-out company NanoSyr

A 2020 paper in PHAGE evaluates methods for processing sputum from patients with cystic fibrosis to detect Pf bacteriophage virion-derived nucleic acid, testing the effect of bead beating, DNase digestion and heating steps and quantifying P

University of Toronto is hiring for a phage-related faculty position: "We are interested in candidates who are applying bioinformatics, chemical biology and structural biology to important questions in the biology and biochemistry of bacter
