Many bacteriophages (phages) have been widely studied due to their major role in virulence
evolution of bacterial pathogens. However, less attention has been paid to phages preying …

Abstract Background The Bacillus genus of Firmicutes bacteria is ubiquitous in nature and
includes one of the best characterized model organisms, B. subtilis, as well as medically …

Using a variety of genomic (BLASTN, ClustalW) and proteomic (Phage Proteomic Tree,
CoreGenes) tools we have tackled the taxonomic status of members of the largest …

The Bacillus cereus group phages infecting B. cereus, B. anthracis, and B. thuringiensis (Bt)
have been studied at the molecular level and, recently, at the genomic level to control the …

Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) is widely used in producing biological insecticides. Phage
contaminations during Bt fermentation can cause severe losses of yields. Lots of strategies …

Bacteriophages have been found to be the most abundant and also potentially most diverse
biological entities on Earth. In the present study, Bacillus phages were isolated rapidly and …

Bacterium eating viruses”(phages) are one of the biotic factors that can disrupt the mass
production of bacteria through the lysis of the cells during growth. Brevibacillus laterosporus …

In this study, we present the genomic characterization of the temperate bacteriophage
vB_BceS_KLEB30-3S (KLEB30-3S), which was induced from Bacillus cereus strain KR3M …

Background The Bacillus genus of Firmicutes bacteria is ubiquitous in nature and includes
