Abstract Despite the growing interest in the role of the gut virome in human health and disease, identifying viral sequences from human gut metagenomes remains computationally challenging due to underrepresentation of viral genomes in reference databases. Several recent large-scale efforts have mined human gut metagenomes to establish viral sequence catalogues, using varied computational tools and quality control criteria.
Phages of Streptococcus thermophilus present a major threat to the production of many fermented dairy products. To date, only a handful of studies have assessed the biodiversity of S. thermophilus phages in dairy fermentations. In order to develop strategies to limit phage predation in this important industrial environment, it is imperative that such studies are undertaken and that phage-host interactions of this species are better defined.
