Comparative genomics of Shiga toxin encoding bacteriophages [PDF]

, 2012
Background Stx bacteriophages are responsible for driving the dissemination of Stx toxin genes (stx) across their bacterial host range. Lysogens carrying Stx phages can cause severe, lifethreatening disease and Stx toxin is an integral virulence factor.

Characterisation of host growth after infection with a broad-range freshwater cyanopodophage [PDF]

, 2014
Freshwater cyanophages are poorly characterised in comparison to their marine counterparts, however, the level of genetic diversity that exists in freshwater cyanophage communities is likely to exceed that found in marine environments, due to the habitat

Klebsiella Phage vB_KleM-RaK2 — A Giant Singleton Virus of the Family Myoviridae

PLoS ONE, 2013
At 346 kbp in size, the genome of a jumbo bacteriophage vB_KleM-RaK2 (RaK2) is the largest Klebsiella infecting myovirus genome sequenced to date. In total, 272 out of 534 RaK2 ORFs lack detectable database homologues. Based on the similarity to biologically defined proteins and/or MS/MS analysis, 117 of RaK2 ORFs were given a functional annotation ...

Soil Giant Phage: Genome and Biological Characteristics of Sinorhizobium Jumbo Phage

International Journal of Molecular Sciences
This paper presents the first in-depth research on the biological and genomic properties of lytic rhizobiophage AP-J-162 isolated from the soils of the mountainous region of Dagestan (North Caucasus), which belongs to the centers of origin of cultivated plants, according to Vavilov N.I. The rhizobiophage host strains are nitrogen-fixing bacteria of the

Extensive proteolysis of head and inner body proteins by a morphogenetic protease in the giant Pseudomonas aeruginosa phage φKZ [PDF]

Molecular Microbiology, 2012
SummaryEncased within the 280 kb genome in the capsid of the giant myovirus φKZ is an unusual cylindrical proteinaceous ‘inner body’ of highly ordered structure. We present here mass spectrometry, bioinformatic and biochemical studies that reveal novel information about the φKZ head and the complex inner body. The identification of 39 cleavage sites in

Environmental bacteriophages : viruses of microbes in aquatic ecosystems

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2014
Since the discovery 2-3 decades ago that viruses of microbes are abundant in marine ecosystems, viral ecology has grown increasingly to reach the status of a full scientific discipline in environmental sciences.
