A Novel Jumbo Phage PhiMa05 Inhibits Harmful Microcystis sp. [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Microcystis poses a concern because of its potential contribution to eutrophication and production of microcystins (MCs). Phage treatment has been proposed as a novel biocontrol method for Microcystis.

vB_PaeM_MIJ3, a Novel Jumbo Phage Infecting Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Possesses Unusual Genomic Features [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
Phages are the most abundant biological entity on Earth. There are many variants in phage virion sizes, morphology, and genome sizes. Large virion sized phages, with genome sizes greater than 200 kbp have been identified and termed as Jumbo phages. These

Jumbo phage-mediated transduction of genomic islands. [PDF]

Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A
Bacteria acquire new genes by horizontal gene transfer (HGT), typically mediated by mobile genetic elements (MGEs). While plasmids, bacteriophages and certain integrative and conjugative elements (ICEs) are well characterized, the broader diversity of ...

A phage nucleus-associated RNA-binding protein is required for jumbo phage infection. [PDF]

Nucleic Acids Res
Large-genome bacteriophages (jumbo phages) of the proposed family Chimalliviridae assemble a nucleus-like compartment bounded by a protein shell that protects the replicating phage genome from host-encoded restriction enzymes and DNA-targeting CRISPR-Cas

A flagella-dependent Burkholderia jumbo phage controls rice seedling rot and steers Burkholderia glumae toward reduced virulence in rice seedlings [PDF]

mBio
Bacteriophages (phages) are being investigated as potential biocontrol agents for the suppression of bacterial diseases in cultivated crops. Jumbo bacteriophages, which possess genomic DNA larger than 200 kbp, generally have a broader host range than ...

Isolation, Characterization, and Evaluation of a Lytic Jumbo Phage Z90 Against Aeromonas hydrophila in American Eels (Anguilla rostrata) [PDF]

Antibiotics
Background: Aeromonas hydrophila is a common bacterial pathogen that causes hemorrhagic septicaemia in several farmed aquaculture species. Phage therapy is considered a promising and feasible alternative to antibiotic treatment.
