Auxiliary metabolic genes in viruses infecting marine cyanobacteria
… Prochlorococcus and Synechococcus often carry metabolic genes not found in other bacteriophages. The proteins encoded by these `auxiliary metabolic genes' (AMGs) are thought to increase phage fitness by altering host metabolism during infection. Dominant among the suite of AMGs carried by …

Bacteriophages in the honey bee gut and amphibian skin microbiomes: investigating the interactions between phages and their bacterial hosts
… bacterial host phenotypes by carrying novel genes associated with auxiliary metabolic functions, virulence-enhancing toxins, or resistance to other phage infections. Lytic phages may also carry certain auxiliary metabolic genes, which are instead used to takeover bacterial host functions to …

Metagenomic Characterization of Microbial Communities in Groundwater Associated with Contaminated Land
… and <i>Rhodocyclaceae</i>). Biodegradation genes wereleast abundant at the core of the plume. Auxiliary metabolic genes (AMGs) that couldcontribute to the degradation of hydrocarbons were identified in the viromes (<i>e.g. adhC</i> and <i>galB</i>). Altogether, the broad host ranges and AMGs …

Integrative Analysis of the Human Gut Phageome Using a Metagenomics Approach
… Afterwards, I describe common functions and auxiliary metabolic genes encoded by human gut phages. I also highlight instances of hypervariable domains which may indicate the presence of phage receptor binding proteins. I then shift the focus to the analysis of two clades of gut phages, namely …

Host/virus interactions in the marine cyanobacterium prochlorococcus
Bacterial viruses shape the diversity, metabolic function, and community dynamics of their microbial hosts. As microbes drive many major biogeochemical cycles, viral infection is therefore a phenomenon of global significance. A significant fraction of primary production in the oceans is performed …
