A virulent phage (virus that infects bacteria) infection to a host bacterial cell results in lysis of the cell, where hundreds of phage particles are released after a latency time. Therefore, phages are one of the biggest threaThe phage pressure is believed to be an important factor in shaping the microbial communities and a driving force of their evolution, and yet we are far from having a...
The Standard Model of particle physics is an extremely successful theory predicting experimental outcomes with outstanding accuracy. Its last particle, the Higgs boson, was experimentally observed 10 years ago by ATLAS and CMS experiments at the LHC and has been studied with increased accuracy since then. Yet, all the particles of the Standard Model make only 5% of matter-energy budget of the...
