The gut virome is an incredibly complex part of the gut ecosystem. Gut viruses play a role in
many disease states, but it is unknown to what extent the gut virome impacts everyday …

Intestinal microbiota, which contains bacteria, archaea, fungi, protists, and viruses including
bacteriophages, is symbiotic and evolves together with humans. The balanced intestinal …

Viruses play an important role in the marine ecosystem. However, our comprehension of
viruses inhabiting the dark ocean, and in particular, under the Antarctic Ice Shelves, remains …

Background Viruses impact nearly all organisms on Earth, including microbial communities
and their associated biogeochemical processes. In soils, highly diverse viral communities …

Bacterial communities are often exposed to temporal variations in resource availability,
which exceed bacterial generation times and thereby affect bacterial coexistence. Bacterial …

Viruses are by far the most abundant life forms on this planet. Yet, the full viral diversity
remains mostly unknown, especially in environments like freshwater. Therefore, we aimed to …

The microbiome is an essential part of most ecosystems. It was originally studied mostly
through culturing but relatively few microbes can be cultured, so much of the microbiome …

Phages integrated into a bacterial genome–called prophages–continuously monitor the
vigour of the host bacteria to determine when to escape the genome and to protect their host …

Phages integrated into a bacterial genome–called prophages–continuously monitor the
health of the host bacteria to determine when to escape the genome, protect their host from …

Exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in polluted air influences the
composition of the skin microbiome, which in turn is associated with altered skin …
