Figure 2. Methodology for bacteriophage isolation: The bacteriophages recovered from environmental samples are incubated with the prospective bacterial host and used to inoculate a plaque-assay; the ...

The α and β diversity of the virome and the virome–bacteriome interaction were analysed. The differential bacteriophages were identified, and their correlations with clinical and immunological ...

Whilst the ultimate outcome of the lytic cycle is production of new phage progeny and death of the host bacterial cell, this is a multistep process involving precise coordination of gene transcription ...
