This manuscript describes an important finding of the transcriptional control of a chimeric gene transfer agents (GTA) cluster in Bartonella by a processive anti-termination factor (BrrG). The ...

Bacteriophages are the most abundant entities on Earth ... The number of particles encapsulated into droplets follow the Poisson distribution, meaning that the λ phg is the mean number of phage ...

Bacteriophages are the most common entities on earth and represent a constant challenge to bacterial populations. To fend off bacteriophage infection, bacteria evolved immune systems to avert phage ...

Bacteriophages (phages) can devastate bacterial strains that are used in fermentations and bioprocesses. Comparative genomic analyses can be used to streamline the construction of genetic systems ...

Following infection of bacterial cells, bacteriophage modulate double-stranded DNA break repair pathways to protect themselves from host immunity systems and prioritise their own recombinases. Here, ...
