Human-gut phages harbor sporulation genes
2023-01-20
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Spore-forming bacteria are prevalent in mammalian guts and have implications for host health and nutrition. The production of dormant spores is thought to play an important role in the colonization, persistence, and transmission of these bacteria. Spore formation also modifies interactions among microorganisms such as infection by phages. Recent studies suggest that phages may counter dormancy-m...
