Soil Giant Phage: Genome and Biological Characteristics of Sinorhizobium Jumbo Phage. [PDF]

Int J Mol Sci
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

Exploring the enzymatic activity of depolymerase gp531 from Klebsiella pneumoniae jumbo phage RaK2. [PDF]

Virus Res, 2023
Klebsiella pneumoniae poses a major global challenge due to its virulence, multidrug resistance, and nosocomial nature. Thus, bacteriophage-derived proteins are extensively being investigated as a means to combat this bacterium. In this study, we explored the enzymatic specificity of depolymerase gp531, encoded by the jumbo bacteriophage vB_KleM_RaK2 ...

Isolation protocol of jumbo phage from winter grass soil [PDF]

IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science, 2021
Abstract Jumbo phage can isolated by two different methods and protocols. It depends on size, phage species, substrate sources, environment, media and tools. Each method has positive and negative results within each factors. The research aimed to determine the suitable protocol to isolated the jumbo phages from winter grass soil during ...

Multisubunit RNA Polymerases of Jumbo Bacteriophages

Viruses, 2020
Prokaryotic viruses with DNA genome longer than 200 kb are collectively referred to as “jumbo phages”. Some representatives of this phylogenetically diverse group encode two DNA-dependent RNA polymerases (RNAPs)—a virion RNAP and a non-virion RNAP.
