This study identifies TspA, a biofilm-degrading enzyme from Rhodobacter capsulatus GTA, which enhances gene transfer by clearing biofilms and navigating the extracellular matrix.

This study presents the cryo-EM structure of the BEFV RNA-nucleoprotein complex, revealing structural features that explain the formation of bullet-shaped nucleocapsids.

This study uses cryo-EM to show how the baseplate of phage 812 undergoes conformational changes that trigger tail contraction during infection of Gram-positive bacteria.

The paper uses nanopore sequencing to analyze capsid-packaged DNA in gut microbiomes, finding bacterial DNA encapsidation is widespread and associated with specific bacterial families.

This study uses light sheet fluorescence microscopy to image biofilm development dynamics of Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa in a microfluidic system.

This study identifies a bacterial immune system, LypABC, that controls GTA release in Caulobacter crescentus by coupling GTA activation with host cell lysis.

The paper uses cryogenic electron tomography to reveal a stargate mechanism for Microviridae genome delivery, showing it is universal across the family.
