The paper isolates and characterizes four novel bacteriophages from Baltic Sea water that infect bacteria associated with the moon jellyfish Aurelia aurita.

The paper describes the isolation and genome sequencing of a new Vibrio species, Vibrio syngnathi, from a fish pathogen, highlighting its phenotypic features and genomic characteristics.

This study shows that environmental stress reduces host fitness in Aurelia aurita polyps, correlating with microbiome changes, and highlights the role of a balanced microbiome in acclimatization.

The paper shows that suboptimal environmental conditions slow phage resistance evolution in bacteria, prolonging phage epidemics and potentially increasing the persistence of virulent phages.

This study identifies five novel phage regions in Vibrio alginolyticus, including two filamentous phages encoding virulence genes, and shows their conservation across eight strains.
