The host range of a bacteriophage is the taxonomic diversity of hosts it can successfully
infect. Host range, one of the central traits to understand in phages, is determined by a range …

Invasions by eukaryotes dependent on environmentally acquired bacterial mutualists are
often limited by the ability of bacterial partners to survive and establish free-living …

Bacteriophages are viruses that are only capable of replicating inside a suitable bacterial
host cell. Here, we performed a comprehensive meta-analysis of all 103 publicly available …

Using different Sinorhizobium meliloti strains as hosts, we isolated eight new virulent
phages from the rhizosphere of the coastal legume Medicago marina. Half of the isolated …

This is the first report on a myophage that infects Arthrobacter. A novel virus, vB_ArtM-ArV1
(ArV1), was isolated from soil using Arthrobacter sp. strain 68b for phage propagation …

In the rhizosphere, bacteria–phage interactions are likely to have important impacts on the
ecology of microbial communities and microbe–plant interactions. To better understand the …

GP4, a new Ralstonia solanacearum phage, is a short-tailed phage. Few structures of
Ralstonia solanacearum phages have been resolved to near-atomic resolution until now …

The genus Sinorhizobium/Ensifer mostly groups nitrogen-fixing bacteria that create root or
stem nodules on leguminous plants and transform atmospheric nitrogen into ammonia …

Bacteriophages of nitrogen-fixing rhizobial bacteria are revealing a wealth of novel
structures, diverse enzyme combinations and genomic features. Here we report the cryo-EM …

Mesorhizobium phage vB_MloS_Cp1R7A-A1 was isolated from soil planted with chickpea
in Saskatchewan. It is dissimilar in sequence and morphology to previously described …
