Phage-mediated transfer of a dextranase gene in Lactobacillus sanfranciscensis and characterization of the enzyme.

Picozzi C1, Meissner D2, Chierici M1, Ehrmann MA2, Vigentini I1, Foschino R1, Vogel RF3.
International journal of food microbiology.Int J Food Microbiol.2015 Jun 2;202:48-53. doi: 10.1016/j.ijfoodmicro.2015.02.018. Epub 2015 Feb 21.
While phages of lactobacilli are extensively studied with respect to their structure and role in the dairy environment, knowledge about phages in bacteria residing in sourdough fermentation is limited. Based on the previous finding that the Lactobacillus sanfranciscensis phage EV3 carries a putative

Absence of lysogeny in wild populations of Erwinia amylovora and Pantoea agglomerans.

Roach DR1, Sjaarda DR, Sjaarda CP, Ayala CJ, Howcroft B, Castle AJ, Svircev AM.
Microbial biotechnology.Microb Biotechnol.2015 May;8(3):510-8. doi: 10.1111/1751-7915.12253. Epub 2015 Feb 12.
Lytic bacteriophages are in development as biological control agents for the prevention of fire blight disease caused by Erwinia amylovora. Temperate phages should be excluded as biologicals since lysogeny produces the dual risks of host resistance to phage attack and the transduction of virulence d

Yet another way that phage λ manipulates its Escherichia coli host: λrexB is involved in the lysogenic-lytic switch.

Engelberg-Kulka H1, Kumar S1.
Molecular microbiology.Mol Microbiol.2015 May;96(4):689-93. doi: 10.1111/mmi.12969. Epub 2015 Mar 16.
The life cycle of phage λ has been studied extensively. Of particular interest has been the process leading to the decision of the phage to switch from lysogenic to lytic cycle. The principal participant in this process is the λcI repressor, which is cleaved under conditions of DNA damage. Cleaved

Host-parasite relations of bacteria and phages can be unveiled by Oligostickiness, a measure of relaxed sequence similarity

BIOINFORMATICS 25(5), 563-570, 2009-03
… Now, we tried a computational approach based on genome sequences of bacteria and phages, introducing a physicochemical parameter, SOSS (set of oligostickiness similarity score) derived from oligostickiness, a measure of binding affinity of oligonucleotides to template DNA.Results: We could confirm host-parasite relationships of bacteria and their phages by SOSS analysis: all phages tested (25 species) had a remarkably higher SOSS value with its host than with unrelated bacteria. …

Bacterial Two-component and Hetero-heptameric Pore-forming Cytolytic Toxins : Structures, Pore-forming Mechanism, and Organization of the Genes

Kaneko Jun,Kamio Yoshiyuki
Bioscience, biotechnology, and biochemistry 68(5), 981-1003, 2004-05-23
… Staphylococcal γ-hemolysin (Hlg), leukocidin (Luk), and Panton–Valentine leukocidin (PVL) are two-component and hetero-oligomeric pore-forming cytolytic toxins (or cytolysin), that were first identified in bacteria. … No information on the existence of hetero-oligomeric pore-forming cytolytic toxins in bacteria except for staphylococcal strains is available so far. … on the genome of lysogenic bacteriophages, φPVL, and determined the entire gene of the phage. …

Isolation and characterization of a cDNA from soybean and its homolog from Escherichia coli, which both complement the light sensitivity of Escherichia coli hemH mutant strain VS101

Kanjo Naoko,Nakahigashi Kenji,Oeda Kenji [他],INOKUCHI Hachiro
Genes & genetic systems 76(5), 327-334, 2001-10
… In VS101 bacteria lysogenized with λWH-1, a significant decrease in accumulation of protoporphyrin IX (PROTO IX) was detected as compared with that in non-lysogenic bacteria. … The growth of the wild-type bacteria in which the insert cDNA from λWH-1 had been introduced via a plasmid vector was markedly inhibited. …
