Bacteriophage genomes can be highly mosaic, i.e. the genome of many phage species appear to be composed of numerous individual modules. These modules may be found in other phage species in different arrangements. Mycobacteriophages, bacteriophages with mycobacterial hosts, have provided excellent examples of this mosaicism.
Bacteriophage Lambda Structure at Atomic Resolution [1] Enterobacteria phage λ (lambda phage, coliphage λ, officially Escherichia virus Lambda) is a bacterial virus, or bacteriophage, that infects the bacterial species Escherichia coli (E. coli). It was discovered by Esther Lederberg in 1950. [2]
He realised that he had discovered a new form of virus and later coined the term "bacteriophage". [ 5 ] [ 6 ] Between 1918 and 1921 d'Herelle discovered different types of bacteriophages that could infect several other species of bacteria including Vibrio cholerae . [ 5 ]

The phi X 174 (or ΦX174) bacteriophage is a single-stranded DNA virus that infects Escherichia coli. This virus was isolated in 1935 by Nicolas Bulgakov [ 1 ] in Félix d'Hérelle 's laboratory at the Pasteur Institute , from samples collected in Paris sewers.
Mycobacteriophage Bxb1 Structure [1]. A mycobacteriophage is a member of a group of bacteriophages known to have mycobacteria as host bacterial species. While originally isolated from the bacterial species Mycobacterium smegmatis and Mycobacterium tuberculosis, [2] the causative agent of tuberculosis, more than 4,200 mycobacteriophage species have since been isolated from various environmental ...
A number of “vampire viruses” have been discovered in soil samples in Maryland and Missouri for the first time.. The existence of the eerily-nicknamed viruses has been known to researchers for ...
Although bacteriophages cannot infect human cells, they are found in abundance in the human virome. [7] Phageome research in humans has largely focused on the gut, however it is also being investigated in other areas like the skin, [ 8 ] blood, [ 9 ] and mouth. [ 10 ]
