Bacteriophages are key components of gut microbiota .
Stop codon reassignments and mutations in the tail fiber genes of bacteriophages may play a significant role in facilitating stable viral colonization in the gut environment. These genetic adaptations could be crucial for the phages to establish and maintain a presence within the complex ecosystem of the gut microbiome.
Phages are highly abundant in the human gut, yet most remain uncultured
Here, we present a gut phage isolate collection (G…
