Understanding how microbial traits affect the evolution and functioning of microbial
communities is fundamental for improving the management of harmful microorganisms, while …

Quiescence, the temporary and reversible arrest of cell growth, is a fundamental biological
process. However, the lack of standardization in terms of reporting the experimental details of …

Phages, as well as phage-derived proteins, especially lysins and depolymerases, are
intensively studied to become prospective alternatives or supportive antibacterials used alone or …

Biological modularity enhances evolutionary adaptability. This principle is vividly exemplified
by bacterial viruses (phages), which display extensive genomic modularity. Phage …

The lag phase is a temporary non-replicative period observed when a microbial population
is introduced to a new nutrient-rich environment. Its duration can have a pronounced effect …

To persist in variable environments, populations of microorganisms have to survive periods
of starvation and be able to restart cell division in nutrient-rich conditions. Typically, …

Phages are known for their genetic modularity. Their genomes are built of independent
functional modules that evolve separately and combine in various ways, making them …
