Wenyuan Chen (Hunan Normal University, China) and colleagues published a letter in Protein & Cell describing a cryo-EM study into the structural changes the T7 phage capsid undergoes upon DNA packaging and maturation.

Flavia Squeglia (National Research Council of Italy) and colleagues published a paper in Structure that describes a new structural and functional study of a Klebsiella phage tailspike protein with capsular polysaccharide depolymerase activi

Benjamin Adler (UC Berkeley) and colleagues published a new preprint describing their application of their recently-developed high-throughput phage-host interaction discovery method to Salmonella phages. This gave them a highly resolved vie

Jeroen Wagemans (KU Leuven) and colleagues published a structural analysis of a jumbo avian pathogenic E. coli-targeting phage with an inner body rod within the capsid and an unusually hairy tail. Check out the paper, which examines the pha

Ward Deboutte (KU Leuven) and colleagues have published their work on the diversity of the honey-bee phageome in PNAS. This study not only sheds light on the bee microbiome, but highlights the potential consequences of phage-host interactio

Ningyun Zhou (University of Oklahoma) and colleagues have developed a new phage-based platform that can rapidly catalyze the growth of neural cells. Paper | Press release, with explainer video.

Beatriz Osuna (UCSF) and colleagues published two new papers this week in Cell Host & Microbe: one on how Listeria phages protect their lysogenic genomes by inducing Cas9 degradation and the other detailing how a bifunctional Listeria phage

Xiaolin Xiong (Wuhan University, China) and colleagues published their work on an unusual phosphorothioation-sensing bacterial defense system with broad anti-phage activities in Nature Microbiology.

A new study by Demeng Tan (Fudan University, China), Mads Frederik Hansen (Max Planck Institute for Terrestrial Microbiology, Germany) and colleagues have shown that a Vibrio anguillarum prophage is controlled by quorum sensing and stimulat

Derek Cerchione and colleagues at Editas Medicine in Cambridge have developed a new M13 phage-based directed-evolution strategy and a mutagenesis method called SMOOT to engineer Cas9 nuclease activity. They report the isolation of a Cas9 mu

Soumyananda Chakraborti (Jagiellonian University, Poland) and collaborators from Poland, UK and Canada report the characterization of NinH, encoded by bacteriophage lambda. NinH is the first example of a phage mimic of the bacterial Nucleoi

Andrea Rocker (Monash University, Australia) and colleagues published a study on how Klebsiella pneumoniae outer membrane porins affect its permeability to antibiotics. They suggest caution be taken when targeting this species and other car
