Freshwater Microbiomes Shape Viral Inactivation in Continuous Cultures

The paper investigates how freshwater microbial communities influence viral inactivation, finding that specific bacterial taxa, rather than community diversity, drive differences in virus removal rates.

Distinct kinetics and mechanisms of microbial inactivation of enteric virus revealed by capsid and genome integrity

The paper investigates the inactivation kinetics and mechanisms of three enteric viruses in lakewater, showing differences in their decay rates and the role of microbial proteases and capsid integrity.

A Capsid Tyrosine Residue Governs the Proteolytic Inactivation of Echovirus 11 in Lakewater

The paper identifies a single capsid residue in Echovirus 11 that determines its susceptibility to proteolytic inactivation in freshwater.

Harnessing Alpine Lake Bacteria for the Development of Synthetic Communities with Broad-Spectrum Antiviral Activity

The paper investigates antiviral activity in alpine lake bacteria, develops synthetic communities with broad-spectrum antiviral properties, and links bacteriophage resistance to viral inactivation.

Burkholderia cenocepacia physiology and molecular adaptations to the acidic pH of the CF nutritional environment

This study investigates B. cenocepacia's physiological and molecular responses to acidic pH and increased zinc/iron in a CF-like environment, identifying genes and metabolites involved in adaptation and virulence.
