Molecular characterisation of the Bacillus subtilis SpbK antiphage defence system

SpbK protects Bacillus subtilis from phage infection by depleting NAD⁺. In this study, the authors uncover the molecular mechanisms underlying SpbK’s self association-dependent NADase activity and its activation by the SPβ phage portal protein YonE.

Streptomyces secretes a siderophore that sensitizes competitor bacteria to phage infection

A secondary metabolite sensitizes competitor Bacillus subtilis to a wide panel of lytic phages by sequestering iron and preventing the activation of Spo0A.

Genetic mapping of microbial and host traits reveals production of immunomodulatory lipids by Akkermansia muciniphila in the murine gut

Systems genetics reveals interactions between host and microbial phenotypes in the murine gut, including a role for Akkermansia muciniphila in the production of immunomodulatory ornithine lipids.
