José Penadés (Imperial College London) and colleagues published a new review on phage satellite genetics, ecology and evolution, diving into how these elements impact bacterial evolution and virulence.

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.

In a new preprint, Rubén Barcia-Cruz (Sorbonne Université) and colleagues describe a new family of satellites called PICMI associated with marine virulent phages.

John M. Eppley (University of the West of England) and colleagues published a new paper in PNAS entitled Marine viral particles reveal an expansive repertoire of phage-parasitizing mobile elements. They found that marine phage satellites ar

Rodrigo Ibarra-Chávez (University of Copenhagen) and colleagues published a review in FEMS on emerging applications of phage satellites in biotechnology. They found phage satellites exploit phages to ensure their own propagation and horizon
