Jumbo phage-mediated transduction of genomic islands. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S ABacteria 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 MGEs remains poorly understood. Here, we propagated the bacterium Pseudomonas fluorescens SBW25 in the

In-Gel Isolation and Characterization of Large (and Other) Phages
Viruses, 2020 We review some aspects of the rapid isolation of, screening for and characterization of jumbo phages, i.e., phages that have dsDNA genomes longer than 200 Kb.

Genome Sequence of Jumbo Phage vB_AbaM_ME3 of Acinetobacter baumanni [PDF]
Genome Announcements, 2016 ABSTRACT Bacteriophage (phage) vB_AbaM_ME3 was previously isolated from wastewater effluent using the propagating host Acinetobacter baumannii DSM 30007. The full genome was sequenced, revealing it to be the largest Acinetobacter bacteriophage sequenced to date with a size of 234 ...

Complete Genome Sequence of Klebsiella pneumoniae Jumbo Phage Miami
Microbiology Resource Announcements, 2021 Bacteriophage Miami infects Klebsiella pneumoniae , a Gram-negative pathogen that is becoming an increasing threat to public health due to its multidrug resistance. Here, we describe the annotation of the 253,383-bp jumbo phage Miami genome sequence and its similarity to other myophages.

3D structure of three jumbo phage heads
Journal of General Virology, 2020 Jumbo phages are bacteriophages that carry more than 200 kbp of DNA. In this study we characterized two jumbo phages (ΦRSL2 and ΦXacN1) and one semi-jumbo phage (ΦRP13) at the structural level by cryo-electron microscopy. Focusing on their capsids, three-dimensional structures of the heads at resolutions ranging from 16 to 9 Å were calculated. Based on

Complete Genome Sequence of a Jumbo Bacteriophage, Escherichia Phage vB_EcoM_EC001
Microbiology Resource Announcements, 2022 Here, we report the genome sequence of a jumbo Escherichia phage vB_EcoM_EC001, a myovirus isolated from primary sludge using enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli O157:H7. The genome is 240,200 bp long and has 270 predicted coding sequences, including a tryptophanyl tRNA gene.

Characterization of Novel Erwinia amylovora Jumbo Bacteriophages from Eneladusvirus Genus
Viruses, 2020 Jumbo phages, which have a genome size of more than 200 kb, have recently been reported for the first time. However, limited information is available regarding their characteristics because few jumbo phages have been isolated.
