A new perspective on lysogeny: prophages as active regulatory switches of bacteria
TL;DR: Another type of bacterium–phage interaction is discussed, active lysogeny, in which phages or phage-like elements are integrated into the bacterial chromosome within critical genes or operons and serve as switches that regulate bacterial genes via genome excision.

Coordination of cohabiting phage elements supports bacteria-phage cooperation.
Tal Argov,Shai Ran Sapir,Anna Pasechnek,Gil Azulay,Olga Stadnyuk,Lev Rabinovich,Nadejda Sigal,Ilya Borovok,Anat A. Herskovits +8 more
TL;DR: The authors show that two phage elements are co-regulated in Listeria monocytogenes, the first one controlling the induction of the second one, which in turn regulates virulence of their bacterial host.
An Effective Counterselection System for Listeria monocytogenes and Its Use To Characterize the Monocin Genomic Region of Strain 10403S.
TL;DR: The construction and utilization of an efficient suicide vector for allelic exchange which can be conjugated, leaves no marker in the bacterial chromosome, and does not require the use of sometimes leaky inducible promoters is reported.

TL;DR: The community respiration activity of the brine samples in which oxygenic photosynthesis was inhibited by 3-(3-4-dichlorophenyl)-1,1-dimethylurea, decreased by 40–43 %.

Temperate bacteriophages as regulators of host behavior.
Tal Argov,Gil Azulay,Anna Pasechnek,Olga Stadnyuk,Shai Ran-Sapir,Ilya Borovok,Nadejda Sigal,Anat A. Herskovits +7 more
TL;DR: Newly reported cases that demonstrate how temperate phages regulate bacterial gene expression and behavior in a variety of bacterial species, pathogenic and environmental are focused on.
