Symbiosis through lysis: prophage activation underlies Lactiplantibacillus plantarum probiotic function The release of bacterial bioactive molecules across the gut barrier is a crucial yet poorly understood step in microbe-host communication. Here we unravel a phage-driven mechanism that enables this pr...

Phage with a Sixth Sense: Francis Santoriello Reveals How φVP882 Uses Quorum Signals and Surfaces to Decide Its Fate At the 2025 Theobald Smith Society Spring Symposium, postdoctoral researcher Francis Santoriello of the Bassler Lab at Princeton University delivered a fascinating talk on how a bacterial virus (phage...

Frank Santoriello showed how phage φVP882 make life-or-death decisions using bacterial quorum sensing. Depending on host density and whether cells are on a surface or in liquid, the phage toggles between lysis & lysogeny. For more: wix.to/1Cx2fsI #Microbiology #Princeton #PhageBiology #QuorumSensing

Cracking a Bacterial Mystery: Yansong Zhao Awarded Prize for New Discoveries

Congratulations to @prczhaoyansong.bsky.social for receiving a Best Poster Prize at the EMBO Workshop.
His work shows that jumbo phages can help bacteria move genomic islands from one cell to another.
