Whilst the ultimate outcome of the lytic cycle is production of new phage progeny and death of the host bacterial cell, this is a multistep process involving precise coordination of gene transcription ...

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 ...

Here’s how it works. The final 132.5km stage to Alicante included some early climbs but ended with Elisa Balsamo (Lidl-Trek) winning the sprint after the breakaway was caught inside the final ...

Elisa Balsamo (Lidl-Trek) won the third stage of the Setmana Ciclista Volta Femenina de la Comunitat Valenciana, using her power on the riding finish to hit the line first. Balsamo beat Ingvild ...

The sewage water samples for phage isolation were collected in 50 mL sterile falcon tubes from North Oconee Water Reclamation Facility, Athens, Georgia, USA. The samples were transported in an ice ...

2011b). There were 20 positive clones obtained as indicated by the phage-ELISA. Sequences derived from these clones were sequenced and gave rise to the dominant epitope candidates (SP1 to SP8) (Table ...

Apoptosis was measured in cells exposed to phage for 48 h using a ssDNA apoptosis ELISA Kit (Merck Millipore) as previously described (Sutanto et al., 2011; Kicic et al., 2016). Briefly, following ...

It has been assumed that SaPI de-repression is effected by specific phage proteins that bind to Stl, initiating the SaPI cycle. Different SaPIs encode different Stl repressors, so each targets a ...
