The Mottled Capsid of the Salmonella Giant Phage SPN3US, a Likely Maturation Intermediate with a Novel Internal Shell [PDF]
Viruses, 2020 “Giant” phages have genomes of >200 kbp, confined in correspondingly large capsids whose assembly and maturation are still poorly understood. Nevertheless, the first assembly product is likely to be, as in other tailed phages, a procapsid that ...

Complete genome sequence of the giant pseudomonas phage lu11 [PDF]
Journal of Virology, 2012 The complete genome sequence of the giant Pseudomonas phage Lu11 was determined, comparing 454 and Sanger sequencing. The double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) genome is 280,538 bp long and encodes 391 open reading frames (ORFs) and no tRNAs.

Phage therapy: awakening a sleeping giant [PDF]
Emerging Topics in Life Sciences, 2017 For a century, bacterial viruses called bacteriophages have been exploited as natural antibacterial agents. However, their medicinal potential has not yet been exploited due to readily available and effective antibiotics.

Isolation and characterization of novel giant Stenotrophomonas maltophilia phage phi SMA5 [PDF]
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2014 Stenotrophomonas maltophilia is one of the most prevalent opportunistic bacteria causing nosocomial infections. It has become problematic because most of the isolates are resistant to multiple antibiotics, and therefore, development of phage therapy has ...

Transcription Profiling of
mBio, 2017 Bacteriophage AR9 is a recently sequenced jumbo phage that encodes two multisubunit RNA polymerases. Here we investigated the AR9 transcription strategy and the effect of AR9 infection on the transcription of its host, Bacillus subtilis.

A giant Pseudomonas phage from Poland [PDF]
Archives of Virology, 2013 A novel giant phage of the family Myoviridae is described. Pseudomonas phage PA5oct was isolated from a sewage sample from an irrigated field near Wroclaw, Poland. The virion morphology indicates that PA5oct differs from known giant phages. The phage has
