A satellite in the phage universe: isolation and characterization of six novel Streptomyces phages AndoPrime, Ando, Arkania, Jaresh, Tatooine, and Galidraan. (PubMed, FEMS Microbes) - "Here, we report the isolation and characterization of six novel phages with one being a phage satellite, that were isolated as part of a public outreach program within the framework of the priority program SPP2330 involving local high schools...This distinct phage harbors a relatively small 13-kb genome encoding an integrase but lacks genes for lysis and tail proteins, rendering it dependent on its helper phage AndoPrime for productive infection. Collectively, this study expands the repertoire of characterized Streptomyces phages and provides new insights into their diversity and evolutionary dynamics within the complex host, shaping ecological interactions."
