Serratia sp. ATCC 39006 is a Gram-negative bacterium that has been used to study the function of phage defences, such as CRISPR-Cas, and phage counter-defence mechanisms. To expand our phage collection to study the phage-host interaction with Serratia sp. ATCC 39006, we isolated the T4-like myovirus LC53 in Ōtepoti Dunedin, Aotearoa New...

In recent years, bacteriophage research has been boosted by a rising interest in using phage therapy to treat antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections. In addition, there is a desire to use phages and their unique proteins for specific biocontrol applications and diagnostics. However, the ability to manipulate phage genomes to understand and...

Bacteria and archaea are engaged in a constant arms race to defend against the ever-present threats of viruses and invasion by mobile genetic elements. The most flexible weapons in the prokaryotic defense arsenal are the CRISPR-Cas adaptive immune systems. These systems are capable of selective identification and neutralization of foreign DNA...
