The Artstor website will be retired on Aug 1st. Limnology and Oceanography Vol. 61, No. 3, 2016 Dilution reveals how viral lysis and gra... Grazing by protists and viral infection are the main known ...

Protein engineering company Lytica Therapeutics is pioneering the use of α-helical stapled antimicrobial peptides (StAMPs) to lyse and kill multidrug-resistant bacteria. Taking a lead from nature ...

Hundreds of different species of microbes live, laugh, and love in your gut. In the future, one of these might serve a new function: microscopic in-house pharmacist.

As the antibiotic destroys the integrity of the bacterial membranes, we observed 'explosive cell lysis' (cells indicated by arrows), which leads in the release of DNA (diffuse green). Disclaimer ...

Biologists converted gut bacteria into miniature protein factories that manufacture and release a sustained flow of targeted proteins inside the lower intestines. This technique solves one of the ...

Phage receptors are often identified by mutations that make the bacteria resistant to phage lysis. The Phage Receptor Database (PhReD) provides a useful repository of known receptors on host cell ...

Through a combination of high bacterial respiration and phage lysis, a continuous supply of terrestrial DOC was lost from the aquatic ecosystem in a CO₂-vented bacterial–viral loop. Bacterial ...

researchers identified a comparable communication system in temperate bacterial phages—viruses that enter either the lytic or lysogenic pathway when they infect a bacterium. Viruses in the lytic ...

Blood agar is a rich, non-selective medium that supports the growth of most bacteria. However, it is differential based on the ability of the organism to produce enzymes called hemolysins, which lyse ...

When multiple phages attached themselves to a bacterial cell, fewer of them were able to even enter the cell, let alone cause lysis. “Our data shows that the first stage of infection ...

After entering, a phage can either force the cell to produce more phages and eventually explode, a process called cell lysis, or the phage can integrate its genome into the bacterial one and ...
