The genome and proteome of coliphage T1
The genome of enterobacterial phage T1 has been sequenced, revealing that its 50.7-kb terminally redundant, circularly permuted sequence contains 48,836 bp of nonredundant nucleotides. Seventy-seven open reading frames (ORFs) were identified, with a high percentage of small genes located at the termini of the genomes displaying no homology to existing ...

Coliphages can indicate contamination of recreational waters and previous studies show that sunlight is important in altering densities of coliphages, other indicator microorganisms, and pathogens in aquatic environments.

Structural Analysis of Jumbo Coliphage phAPEC6 [PDF]
The phAPEC6 genome encodes 551 predicted gene products, with the vast majority (83%) of unknown function. Of these, 62 have been identified as virion-associated proteins by mass spectrometry (ESI-MS/MS), including the major capsid protein (Gp225; present in 1620 copies), which shows a HK97 capsid protein-based fold. Cryo-electron microscopy experiments

Structural analysis of the spiroplasma virus, SpV4: implications for evolutionary variation to obtain host diversity among the Microviridae [PDF]
Background: Spiroplasma virus, SpV4, is a small, non-enveloped virus that infects the helical mollicute Spiroplasma melliferum. SpV4 exhibits several similarities to the Chlamydia phage, Chp1, and the Coliphages α3, φK, G4 and φX174. All of these viruses

Coliphages and Gastrointestinal Illness in Recreational Waters
Background: Coliphages have been proposed as indicators of fecal contamination in recreational waters because they better mimic the persistence of pathogenic viruses in the environment and wastewater treatment than fecal indicator bacteria.

Abundance and Distribution of Enteric Bacteria and Viruses in Coastal and Estuarine Sediments—a Review [PDF]
The long term survival of fecal indicator organisms (FIOs) and human pathogenic microorganisms in sediments is important from a water quality, human health and ecological perspective.

Bacteriophages are regarded as enteric viral indicators in faecally contaminated water systems and may indicate the presence of human viral pollution. They are relatively resistant to inactivation by natural and treatment processes.

Chlorine disinfection is a globally used method to ensure the safety of drinking water. However, it has not always been successful against viruses and, therefore, it is important to find new methods to disinfect water. Seventeen different coliphages were

Coliphages as Model Organisms in the Characterization and Management of Water Resources
Two groups of bacteriophages that infect Escherichia coli, somatic and F-specific coliphages, have been used in academia as both fecal and viral indicators for many years.

Nucleotide sequence and mutational analysis of an immunity repressor gene from Bacillus subtilis temperate phage ϕ105 [PDF]
We have identified and sequenced a bacteriophage phi 105 gene encoding an immunity repressor, the first to be characterized from a temperate phage infecting a Gram-positive host.
