    Abstract This is the first book to systemize all levels of communicative behavior of phages. Phages represent the most diverse inhabitants on this planet. Until today they are completely underestimated in their number, skills and competences and still remain the dark matter of biology. Phages have serious effects on global energy and nutrient cycles. Phages actively compete for host. They can distinguish between ‘self’ and ‘non-self’ (complement same, preclude others). They process and evaluate available information and then modify their behaviour accordingly. These diverse competences show us that this capacity to evaluate information is possible owing to communication processes within phages (intra-organismic), between the same, related and different phage species (interorganismic), and between phages and non-phage organisms (transorganismic). This is crucial in coordinating infection strategies (lytic vs. lysogenic) and recombination in phage genomes. In 22 chapters, expert contributors review current research into the varying forms of phage biocommunication and Phagetherapy. Biocommunication of Phages aims to assess the current state of research, to orient further investigations on how phages communicate with each other to coordinate their behavioral patterns, and to inspire further investigation of the role of non-phage viruses (non-lytic, non-prokaryotic) in these highly dynamic interactional networks.

    Abstract The quasispecies theory is a helpful concept in the explanation of RNA virus evolution and behaviour, with a relevant impact on methods used to fight viral diseases. It has undergone some adaptations to integrate new empirical data, especially the non-deterministic nature of mutagenesis, and the variety of behavioural motifs in cooperation, competition, communication, innovation, integration, and exaptation. Also, the consortial structure of quasispecies with complementary roles of memory genomes of minority populations better fits the empirical data than did the original concept of a master sequence and its mutant spectra. The high productivity of quasispecies variants generates unique sequences that never existed before and will never exist again. In the present essay, we underline that such sequences represent really new ontological entities, not just error copies of previous ones. Their primary unique property, the incredible variant production, is suggested here as quasispecies productivity, which replaces the error-replication narrative to better fit into a new relationship between mankind and living nature in the twenty-first century.

    Abstract For nearly a century the main focus in biological disciplines such as molecular biology, biochemistry, genetics and evolutionary theory was cellular life as a machine like process in which mechanistic pathways regulate metabolism, genetic reading and translation into proteins and evolution by variations (random error replications) and selection. Modern biochemistry started with the cellular theory of life. Also the modern synthesis focused on cells at the starting event of life. The dominance of this paradigm lasted until ten years ago. Then the comeback of virology offered new empirical data and explanatory models of how viruses determine cellular life through an abundance of parasite host interactions that overrule cellular processes. The RNA world hypothesis demonstrated that prior to cellular life RNA group interactions were at the beginning of biological selection before cellular life emerged. Last but not least the central dogma of molecular biology collapsed when epigenetics demonstrated that history and developmental experiences of the past can be epigenetically imprinted and serve as identity markings that in every replication process of any cell in any organism on this planet the timely and locally coordinated replication is regulated and orchestrated by these programmings. In the light of this knowledge a better explanatory model than an extension of the modern synthesis will be more successful in the 21st century.

    Abstract Our understanding of the key players in evolution and of the development of all organisms in all domains of life has been aided by current knowledge about RNA stem-loop groups, their proposed interaction motifs in an early RNA world and their regulative roles in all steps and substeps of nearly all cellular processes, such as replication, transcription, translation, repair, immunity and epigenetic marking. Cooperative evolution was enabled by promiscuous interactions between single-stranded regions in the loops of naturally forming stem-loop structures in RNAs. It was also shown that cooperative RNA stem-loops outcompete selfish ones and provide foundational self-constructive groups (ribosome, editosome, spliceosome,
