A roadmap for genome-based phage taxonomy [PDF]
Bacteriophage (phage) taxonomy has been in flux since its inception over four decades ago. Genome sequencing has put pressure on the classification system and recent years have seen significant changes to phage taxonomy.

Genome sequence of Serratia marcescens phage BF [PDF]
Phages infecting Serratia marcescens, a common causative agent of nosocomial infections, have potential therapeutic applications. Here, we report the complete genome of the novel S.

Genome sequence of Shigella phage vB_EcoM_SS01.
We present the genome of phage vB_EcoM_SS01, an obligately lytic phage infective for Shigella sonnei isolated on strain 391324 from a wastewater sample collected in London, United Kingdom. The genome sequence is 88,160 bp with 149 annotated genes and a G

The Caulobacter crescentus phage phiCbK: genomics of a canonical phage [PDF]
AbstractBackgroundThe bacteriumCaulobacter crescentusis a popular model for the study of cell cycle regulation and senescence. The large prolate siphophage phiCbK has been an important tool inC. crescentusbiology, and has been studied in its own right as a model for viral morphogenesis.

The Phage Proteomic Tree: a Genome-Based Taxonomy for Phage [PDF]
ABSTRACT There are ∼10 31 phage in the biosphere, making them the most abundant biological entities on the planet. Despite their great numbers and ubiquitous presence, very little is known about phage biodiversity, biogeography, or phylogeny. Information is limited, in part,

Marine phage genomics: the tip of the iceberg [PDF]
Marine viruses are the most abundant biological entity in the oceans, the majority of which infect bacteria and are known as bacteriophages. Yet, the bulk of bacteriophages form part of the vast uncultured dark matter of the microbial biosphere. In spite of the paucity of cultured marine bacteriophages, it is known that marine bacteriophages have major

Characterizing RecA-Independent Induction of Shiga toxin2-encoding Phages by EDTA Treatment [PDF]
The bacteriophage life cycle has an important role in Shiga toxin (Stx) expression. The induction of Shiga toxin-encoding phages (Stx phages) increases toxin production as a result of replication of the phage genome, and phage lysis of the host cell also

The Genome of the Novel Phage Rtp, with a Rosette-Like Tail Tip, IsHomologous to the Genome of Phage T1 [PDF]
ABSTRACTAnewEscherichia coliphage, named Rtp, was isolated and shown to be closely related to phage T1. Electron microscopy revealed that phage Rtp has a morphologically unique tail tip consisting of four leaf-like structures arranged in a rosette, whereas phage T1 has thinner, flexible leaves that thicken toward the ends.

Genome Structure of Caulobacter Phage phiCb5 [PDF]
ABSTRACT The complete genome sequence of caulobacter phage phiCb5 has been determined, and four open reading frames (ORFs) have been identified and characterized. As for related phages, the ORFs code for maturation, coat, replicase, and lysis proteins, but unlike other Leviviridae members, the lysis ...

Novel bacteriophages containing a genome of another bacteriophage within their genomes [PDF]
The work was funded by the Scottish Government’s Rural and Environment Science and Analytical Services (RESAS) DivisionA novel bacteriophage infecting Staphylococus pasteuri was isolated during a screen for phages in Antarctic soils.
