Phage receptors are often identified by mutations that make the bacteria resistant to phage lysis. The Phage Receptor Database (PhReD) provides a useful repository of known receptors on host cell ...

Phage-mediated horizontal gene transfer - the role of phages ... Several bacteriophages (phages) specifically target and infect Salmonella leading to outcomes of either a lysis (by lytic phages) or ...

Because phages exert pressure on the bacteria they infect and some phage genomes encode virulence factors and toxins, a role for specific phages or communities of phages in human health seems ...

Cultured meat production faces significant challenges in scalability, cost efficiency, and structural integrity.This breakthrough offers a sustainable solution by leveraging Aloe vera, a widely ...

Get Instant Summarized Text (Gist) Microplastics are contributing to antibiotic resistance by providing surfaces for bacteria to form robust biofilms, which protect them from antibiotics. This ...

They discovered over 20,000 different Tas proteins, predominantly from phage and parasitic bacteria, that encode an RNA guide that interacts with the RNA-binding domain of the protein itself. The team ...

"We take a tiny piece of shrimp tissue with a disposable toothpick, which is used for DNA isolation by boiling the samples in lysis buffer (a solution that helps to open cells and release their ...

Mango Materials says the bacteria then accumulate granules of polymer inside their cell walls, and the contents of the tanks are then dewatered and broken open through mechanical lysis. Mango ...
