Analysis and culturing of the prototypic crAssphage reveals a phage-plasmid lifestyle

2024-03-20

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Summary</h4> The prototypic crAssphage ( Carjivirus communis ) is one of the most abundant, prevalent, and persistent gut bacteriophages, yet it remains uncultured and its lifestyle uncharacterized. For the last decade, crAssphage has escaped plaque-dependent culturing efforts, leading us to investigate alternative lifestyles that might explain its widespread success. Through genomic analyses and culturing,...
