A nucleic acid host factor enables optimal phage replication in Escherichia coli

Alice C. Z. Collins, Marcel Sprenger, Josh McQuail…·Sivaramesh Wigneshweraraj

The paper shows that T2 phage uses the host sRNA ArcZ to stabilize its own transcript and inhibit a bacterial restriction system.

Flocculation of a cyanobacterium confers defense against bacterial predation

Shylaja N Mohandass, Alice C. Z. Collins, Fabian D. Conradi…·Conrad W. Mullineaux

This study shows that cyanobacterial flocculation defends against bacterial predation by Pseudomonas aeruginosa through Type VI Secretion System-mediated nutrient access.
