Journal Article
Sazinas, P., Redgwell, T., Rihtman, B., Grigonyte, A., Michniewski, S., Scanlan, D. J., …Millard, A. (in press). Comparative genomics of bacteriophage of the genus Seuratvirus. Genome Biology and Evolution, 10(1), https://doi.org/10.1093/gbe/evx275

Despite being more abundant and having smaller genomes than their bacterial host, relatively few bacteriophages have had their genomes sequenced. Here, we isolated 14 bacteriophages from cattle slurry and performed de novo genome sequencing, assembly... Read More about Comparative genomics of bacteriophage of the genus Seuratvirus.

Bacterial resistance to arsenic protects against protist killing (2017)
Journal Article
Hao, X., Li, X., Pal, C., Hobman, J. L., Larsson, D. J., Saquib, Q., …Rensing, C. (2017). Bacterial resistance to arsenic protects against protist killing. BioMetals, 30(2), 307-311. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10534-017-0003-4

Protists kill their bacterial prey using toxic metals such as copper. Here we hypothesize that the metalloid arsenic has a similar role. To test this hypothesis, we examined intracellular survival of Escherichia coli (E. coli) in the amoeba Dictyoste... Read More about Bacterial resistance to arsenic protects against protist killing.
