Porphyromonas gingivalis phages do exist! Excited to share my first, 1st-author paper and first paper out of @k6logc's lab! https://t.co/X0cUt1Dh8L recently published in @MicrobiomeJ with help from a great coauthor team of @JMarkWelch, @Fabisilla, and others. (1/3)
Looking for a postdoc to join us at UB in spring of 2024. You would work with myself, @Ruhl_Lab, & the Human Salivary Proteome wiki team - (https://t.co/yMDTBtYtSz) to improve discovery of viral proteins in proteomics datasets. Interested? Please reach out by email & w/ CV.
Great talk by @k6logc on the role phages play in the oral microbiome at #Evergreenphage2023. Inspiring to continue the search for phages in the environment and of important bacteria, even if numerous reports or methods might have previously missed them
These phages are extensively targeted by Pg's CRISPR-Cas systems & likely their numerous other anti-phage systems. All together, these phages and defense systems considerably contribute to Pg's strain-level diversity! (3/3)

Despite their decades-long elusivity, diverse and active prophages exist within Pg isolates. Here, we propose three new families of viruses - Alisviridae, Ludisviridae, & Nixviridae! (2/3)
Almost 30yrs after Sandmeier's first look for Pg #phages in the oral microbiome, we've found there are plenty! Congrats 🎉 to @colematrishin on his beautiful first 1st-author work & to great team incl @JMarkWelch @Fabisilla & others #notontwitter - data: https://t.co/m50ECy97cD
