🦠 Phages (bacteria-killing viruses) aren't as picky as we thought. 5-10% can infect multiple bacterial species, even genetically distant ones. Potential implications for phage therapy against antibiotic-resistant infections 💊

Ecology and health – phages interact with many bacteria in ecosystems
Phages (bacteriophages), viruses that infect bacteria, are the most abundant genetic entities in our environment. A study published in Nature Microbiology challenges the common preconception that they...

Phages with a broad host range are common across ecosystems - Nature Microbiology
Proximity-ligation-based sequencing from 111 samples and 5 environments reveals that a substantial proportion of phages infect multiple species.

You like phages ? In this publication, we use metaHiC and our new version of the MetaTOR pipeline to challenge the traditional view of phages with a narrow host range.

First up, Renata Sandoval on her studies of allele frequencies in metagenomes from agave fermentation 🌵🦠 (not the most accurate emoticons but you get the idea!). She's working with

Wild yeasts as a model for climate research | Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation
Wild yeasts live in the forests all around us. Yet, little is known about the role they play in ecosystems. They can be used to develop new beer and bread flavors, but wild yeast can also serve as a u...

Agave fermentations not only produce mezcal and tequila; they are also natural laboratories of microbial evolution. We explore how yeasts thrive in this ecosystem. Had a great time working on this with
