A viral 'loose cannon' enzyme helps phages shut down bacterial defenses
Scientists have found how #phages, #viruses that infect bacteria, orchestrate an explosion of protein modifications inside host cells that helps them evade the bacteria’s immune systemshttps://www.eurekalert.org/news-releases/1140693

Biologists Discover Over 100,000 New Types of RNA Viruses https://www.sci.news/biology/new-rna-viruses-11511.html
Expansion of the global RNA #virome reveals diverse clades of #bacteriophages https://www.cell.com/cell/fulltext/S0092-8674(22)01118-7
This allowed the researchers to reconstruct how the #viruses underwent diverse acclimation processes throughout their #evolution in order to adapt to different hosts. Some of the new viruses are suspected of infecting various pathogenic #microbes, thus opening up the possibility of using viruses to control them.
