Agtrevirus phage AV101 recognizes four different O-antigens infecting diverse .

Bacteriophages in the genus are known for expressing multiple tail spike proteins (TSPs), but little is known about their genetic diversity and host recognition apart from their ability to infect diverse species. Here, we aim to determine the genetic differences that may account for the diverse host ranges of phages. We performed comparative genomics of 14 and identified only a few genetic differences including genes involved in nucleotide metabolism.

CRISPR-Cas9 Shaped Viral Metagenomes Associated with Bacillus subtilis.

Phages are viruses of bacteria and have been known for over a century. They do not have a metabolism or protein synthesis machinery and rely on host cells for replication. The model organism Bacillus subtilis has served as a host strain for decades and enabled the isolation of many unique viral strains.
