phage encoding a putative anti-CRISPR-like gene represents a novel potential viral family.

is a prevalent bacterial genus in deep-sea environments including marine sediments, exhibiting diverse metabolic capabilities that indicate its significant contributions to the marine biogeochemical cycles. However, only a few phages were isolated and deposited in the NCBI database. In this study, we report the isolation and characterization of a novel phage, vB_SbaS_Y11, that infects and was isolated from the sewage in Qingdao, China.

Genome analysis of vB_SupP_AX, a novel N4-like phage infecting Sulfitobacter.

Sulfitobacter is a bacterium recognized for its production of AMP-independent sulfite oxidase, which is instrumental in the creation of sulfite biosensors. This capability underscores its ecological and economic relevance. In this study, we present a newly discovered phage, Sulfitobacter phage vB_SupP_AX, which was isolated from Maidao of Qingdao, China.

Identification and genomic analysis of temperate bacteriophage vB_HmeY_H4907 from the surface sediment of the Mariana Trench at a depth of 8,900 m.

Viruses play crucial roles in the ecosystem by modulating the host community structure, mediating biogeochemical cycles, and compensating for the metabolism of host cells. Mariana Trench, the world's deepest hadal habitat, harbors a variety of unique microorganisms that have adapted to its extreme conditions of low temperatures, high pressure, and nutrient scarcity. However, our knowledge about isolated hadal phage strains in the hadal trench is still limited.

Phage Encoding an Antibiotics Resistance Gene Represents a Novel Caudoviral Family.

is an important bacterial genus that is widespread in Antarctic and marine environments. However, to date, only two complete phage sequences have been deposited in the NCBI database. Here, the novel phage vB_PmaS_Y8A, infecting HM08A, was isolated from sewage in the Qingdao area, China.
