Interest in bacteriophages (phages) as sustainable biocontrol agents in the agri-food industry has increased because of growing worries about food safety and antimicrobial resistance (AMR). The phage manufacturing process is examined in this review, with particular attention paid to the crucial upstream and downstream processes needed for large-scale production. Achieving large phage yields requires upstream procedures, including fermentation and phage amplification.

The aim of this study was to investigate the diversity, abundance and frequency of these microorganisms in water samples from the eastern regions of the lake over four seasons. Amplicon sequencing for the 16S rRNA gene was performed to examine bacterial communities in the samples.

In this study, 675 sequences of isolates deposited in GenBank were analyzed in terms of diversity, occurrence, and evolution of the CRISPR-Cas system. This study investigated the presence, structural variations, phylogenetic relationships, and diversity of CRISPR-Cas systems in 675 strains.

- * It found that 56% of the identified CRISPR-Cas systems belong to subtypes I-E/I-C, 23% to III-A/III-D, and 17% to II-A, with specific plasmids targeted by distinct systems.
- * The research concluded that strains with type-I CRISPR-Cas systems have a wider range of phage targets, highlighting the critical role of these systems in protecting against viral infections.
Article Synopsis
- PPI (protein-protein interaction) analysis helps scientists understand important processes like how microalgae use carbon and sense nutrients.
- Signaling networks, including pathways like MAPK/ERK and TOR, show how these tiny plants react to changes in their environment and deal with stress.
- Recent studies focus on how different microalgae species interact and how different methods can improve our understanding and use of these organisms in various fields.
